FOREST MARATHON 2024 - 10KM, Half Marathon, Full Marathon and 50KM
2024-06-08 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Dublin)
FOREST MARATHON – 10KM, Half Marathon, Full Marathon and 50KM
June 8th 2024

Taking part in the Portumna Forest Marathon is a spiritual experience – while it tests the body physically, it soothes the mind in equal proportions. The runners, crew, and marshalls blend in with the environment and although there is plenty of clapping and encouragement for the runners there is a serenity about the place that bows down to the beauty of the natural environment.
Everyone talks a little softer and smiles a little wider.
When those inevitable Irish rain showers put in their short but frequent appearances, everyone looks up at the raindrops through the leaves and marvels at the reflections of the rainbows in the puddles – appreciating the fact that the rain had a vital role to play in providing such a luscious backdrop for the run.
