Since its launch, we have raised over €80,000 for the Hospice Foundation, Thank You!
Each year we also run a free secondary competition called the Micheal McDonnell Memorial Sheild for teachers and students to represent their school, college, or university.

Last year due to Covid 19 we as many races had to cancel, but instead of wandering the course in despair, missing our running, jogging, and walking friends we launched our Face Mask Appeal with an aim to purchase 10,000 (10k) face masks for frontline workers, including staff at Mayo Roscommon Hospice, Local Nursing Homes, Mayo Civil Defense and Local Gardai – we finally delivered over 13,000 with your help.
This Year we are back to a real event with the option of a Virtual for our friends near and far or those isolated for the Kilmovee 10k Family we ask you all to join us to make the comeback bigger and better.
We hope this opportunity will allow our friends from all over the world to participate in our event – and help us grow and continue the fantastic work our volunteers do each year (but give them a day off, well most of them).
Why not register and join us virtually in 2022 – then come (hopefully) to Kilmovee, Mayo in 2023 to sample our hospitality first hand.

Forest Marathon
2022-06-11 07:00 - 18:00 | portumna Forest Park, Portumna, Galway, Ireland
Portumna Forest Marathon
Taking place in Portumna Forest Park. Forest marathon has a unique course and a distance for everyone.
10K / Half / Full / 50K / 100K

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.
