Race calendar for the southern counties of Ireland - Updated 25th September 2024...

It includes the six counties of Munster as well as the southern eight counties of Leinster.  It includes road races, fun runs, parkruns, trail & mountain races. This is by far the most popular race calendar in Munster with an average of about 7,000 page views per month.

Note that any runner who is not a member of an athletics club will be required to purchase a special 'One-Day Licence' when they enter a race with an Athletics Ireland permit. While this is advertised as costing '€2', there are additional fees.
