Prizes will be awarded for gender winners in each age and distance category and special awards will be provided for the most creative course design and best dressed.

To create a truly community event, they are asking all participants to carry out their challenge over the event weekends making the most of the space and time you have to exercise in a safe but competitive environment.
Giving Back

The Castle Virtual Series will donate 20% of each race entry fee to their long-term charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support. This will help Macmillan Cancer Support continue to deliver their physical, emotional and financial support to help people with cancer and their families.

#TheBigRugbyRun, a new exciting virtual team relay challenge event being held on Saturday 9th May and targeting the Irish grassroots rugby community, launched online at www.thebigrugbyrun.com.

#TheBigRugbyRun will involve current or past rugby teams, from Minis Under 10s age group up to retired veterans, registering to run or walk a virtual relay over the half marathon (21km) or full marathon (42km) distance, whilst still observing the Government guidelines regarding social distancing and staying within 2kms of home. Each team will be set the challenge of raising a minimum of €50 for Feed The Heroes, with all underage teams participating going into a free-to-enter post-event Grand Prize Draw to win prizes from some leading sports and other brands.
Ex-Munster player and Newbridge College SCT Head Coach Johne Murphy said “We’re delighted to launch #TheBigRugbyRun and hope that it gives young and older rugby teams and people from across the country an ideal opportunity to get back in touch with each other, commit to a physical challenge and raise money for a fantastic cause. We’re all missing the usual end-of-season excitement now more than ever but hopefully #TheBigRugbyRun can help to mark the end of season with something unique and fitting for the times that we’re in. We’re excited to be extending our support of Feed The Heroes through this event and are hoping #TheBigRugbyRun will help raise more money for the fund.”

Quadrathon International Festival
2020-08-13 09:00 - 2020-08-16 14:30 | Moville, Montgomery Terrace, Moville, Moville
Half, Full Marathons over 4 days
This is not just another running event, it’s more personal than that, the concept of this event is experiencing camaraderie, lasting friendships, amazing scenery and unequalled hospitality during this iconic 4 day running festival.
Witness the scenic Wild Atlantic Way, run a different route daily along rugged coastal roads in the unspoilt Inishowen Peninsula, home to Malin Head the most northerly point and steeped in scenery, history and tradition and experience the hospitality and warmth of both locals and organisers.
Whether medals are your thing or not you just can’t overlook the Quadrathon Medal, every finisher of this punishing 4 day event is a true winner and the medal is testimony to that ethos. We would argue that its in proportion to everything else about the event which is bigger and better.

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.
