The 2017 event sold out well in advance so don’t delay in booking your place as you won’t want to miss out on the 2018 edition of this fabulous event.
5 Reasons why you and your friends should do this.

It’s Fabulous

Run or walk this amazing 10K or Half Marathon route which takes in the longest seaside promenade in Europe. The scenery is breathtaking with spectacular views of the Clare mountains across Galway Bay and the wild Atlantic Ocean. Come for the weekend – there is too much to see and do in just a day!

It’s Famous

The race starts and finishes alongside the famous Claddagh Quay on the edge of Galway City. It was formerly a fishing village, just outside the old city walls and is also the home of the world famous Claddagh ring. So if romance is in the air this is the place for you.

It’s Fun

If you are visiting for the weekend you’ll get to enjoy the best of both worlds as the quaint Medieval City and the vast Seaside resort of Salthill sit side by side offering a host of pubs, restaurants and plenty to do for all ages.
Perfect to do with family and friends!

It’s Flat

The course is great for new runners who want to avoid hills and it’s even better for fast runners who are looking for a personal best!. Starting at the Claddagh, participants run along the closed road through the heart of Salthill and return on the promenade and the newly surfaced area beyond Blackrock.

It’s Friendly

This year, the Struggle 10k / 5k is raising funds for the Red Cross, Doon Community Center & other good causes
In spite of the name, its not the hardest run in the world. The 5k is a pretty easy run. (The 5k is timed but classed as a Fun Run) As for 10k,(Measured with Jones Counter) It climbs on and off between 1k and 6k, more of long slow climb, by the time you get to the 6k marker, all the work is done, last 4k is down hill, it’s a gradual fall and makes the last 4k an easy easy enough run. If you’ve run Dunlickey Hill in Kilkee, on paper, this is a harder run, but running it, it isn’t any harder, more of a good test
There is a 7k Walk run in conjunction with both runs
