Notice: West Waterford Greenway Half-Marathon - Sat 29th Aug 2026


The West Waterford Greenway Half-Marathon is coming up this year on Saturday the 29th of August 2026 at 9am. This scenic half has a limit of 750 entries so I would advise anyone that is interested to enter asap.

Entry fee includes a specially commissioned  Greenway dry-fit t-shirt !

ENTRIES HERE

Entries open Wed 1st July at 9am

From West Waterford AC... This years event takes place on Saturday 29th Aug. at 9am in Kilmacthomas.

Entry fee includes bus travel to start point in Kilmacthomas, and a unique Greenway Tshirt!  ( It does not include bus back to Kilmacthomas)

As all our supporters know we try to raise awareness for important causes and charities with our events and this year the chosen charity we are supporting is the West Waterford Athletic Club Track Fund.

We hope that you will be as generous as always in supporting this very worthy cause as we aspire to bring an 8 lane Running  Track to Dungarvan for the next generation of young athletes and for the many hundreds of runners in West Waterford and beyond.  In February of this year with the signing of a lease at St Augustines College Dungarvan we have commenced on a journey to bring this dream to a reality.

If you wish to learn more about please follow the link below.

West Waterford AC Athletics Track Update

In conjunction with Waterford City and County Council this is a  13.1 mile race along the now famous old Waterford/Dungarvan Railway line. 

RACE LIMIT OF 750 APPLIES 

Entries close on 7th August or when limit of 750 is reached.

Course route map here... https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/476807848

Or alternatively view this route map here: https://strava.app.link/FG982nqB43b

The refund window for this event will open on July 24th Additional places may become available depending on the uptake on refunds from current registrants.

This fantastic amenity opened officially in 2017 and has already experienced visitors from all over the country and beyond. Users are amazed by this 47 km spectacular off-road cycling and walking trail along an old railway line between Waterford and Dungarvan.

Please note this is a point to point race starting near the Coachhouse Kilmacthomas and finishing near Ballinroad, Dungarvan. Entry fee includes bus from Ballinroad to the start line near Kilmacthomas.


As the map shows below, the half-marathon starts near Kilmacthomas and finishes in Dungarvan.


As it was an old railway line, the course is very slightly downhill overall. The old railway line at Kilmacthomas is about 60-metres above sea level while Dungarvan is just above sea level. 

The course is certainly a LOT flatter than the average race on public roads.

Notice: Run Kilkee Half-Marathon & 10k - Sat 25th July 2026


The popular Run Kilkee Half-Marathon & 10k is coming up this year on Saturday 25th July 2026.

Info and entries here... https://runkilkee.ie/

This is the largest half-marathon in Co Clare and as can be see from the chart below, both the 10k and half are increasing in popularity as more people return year after year and more people find out about the event.


Kilkee is located in the south-west of Co Clare at the foot of the Loop Head peninsula. Both the 10k and Half-Marathon courses are out and back courses and hug the coastline offering some spectacular views.


Even though the participants are running on the same section of road on the way back, they arere facing a different direction which offers different views.


It must be up there as one of the most scenic events on the running calendar. It just needs a bit of sunshine to make it a remarkable outing.


The advantage of an event like this is that with so many runners and traffic management in place, there is no need to worry about cars on the course.


An amazing spot for a race.

The Half-Marathon starts at 9am while the 10k starts at 12:30pm.

Kerry: Results of the Valentia Half-Marathon & 10k - 23rd Oct 2021

Notice: Run Killarney Half-Marathon & 10k - Sat 13th Nov 2021


The Run Killarney Half-Marathon and 10k is usually held every year in July but couldn't go ahead this year because of all the restrictions. Now that the restrictions have been eased, it will be held on Saturday 13th November 2021.

The event website is here... https://runkillarney.com/

The event includes a dry fit top and a medal.

The Half-Marathon has a start time of 8:30am while the 10k starts at 8:50am.

This will obviously be of interest to anyone who wants a weekend away in Killarney.

Half-Marathon: The start of the half has traditionally been up at Molls Gap with the competitors running down to the finish line outside the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney.

While restrictions have eased, there would obviously be issues transporting a lot of people by bus up to the start line. As a result, the course is closer to the national park.


10k: The 10k follows the same route to the half except it turns around sooner.

Full details including how to enter can be found on the event website... https://runkillarney.com/

Kerry...Results of the Ballybunion Half-Marathon & 10k...Sat 15th Apr 2017

 
There was a drop off again in numbers for this years Ballybunion Half-Marathon & 10k which was held on Easter Saturday the 15th of April 2017. In the half-marathon, there were just 92 finishers which is down 25% on last year. The 10k did much better getting 217 which is good for a race in North Kerry. It was down 7% on last year.

As you can see from the chart above and below, the numbers for this event have changed hugely over the years. At its peak in 2012, it was attracting 1064 runners. In 2017, that number has dropped to 309 which is also down 13% on last year.

As for why the huge drop? I have heard that the course is a bit hilly but other than that, I haven't heard anything bad about it. I'd guess that the main reason is that there are just too many races and this one just gets lost in the noise.

Kerry...Results of the Tralee Marathon & Half-Marathon - Sat 12th Mar 2016

Approximately 620 people took part in this years Tralee Marathon & Half-Marathon on Saturday the 12th of March 2016. This is how it compares to previous years..


As you can see, the numbers for both the half and full were down 27% this year despite the fact that the weather was dry and mild. This follows on from another drop in 2015 as well. When the numbers drop by say 5-10% then it's not a disaster but a drop of 27% is pretty big. If it were to continue like that, the full marathon would become unfeasible as the numbers wouldn't justify the effort & cost of having the longer course.

As for why the big drop?? It's not the cheapest of events with an entry fee of €50 for the Half-Marathon and €60 for the full but then again, there are a lot of events like that. The main reason is probably just the sheer number of races and events on the calendar at the moment.
