Wild Atlantic Way Manager says Donegal Half Marathon is ideal event to showcase county

The Donegal Half Marathon and Fáilte Ireland have teamed up to promote the Wild Atlantic Way this year, with Fanad Lighthouse the iconic location being adopted as the theme of next month’s event.
The hundreds of participants taking part in the 2021 Donegal Half Marathon, which takes place in Letterkenny on Sunday, August 29th, will receive a medal with a raised image of the famous Fanad Lighthouse as its centre piece.
Joan Crawford, Manager of the Wild Atlantic Way, says the Donegal Half Marathon is an ideal event to help promote the county.
“When the Donegal Half Marathon was initiated back in 2014, the primary focus was on Letterkenny. This year, the organising committee saw it as an opportunity to expand it out into the wider Donegal area. So, we’ve gone with the Wild Atlantic Way theme,” she commented.
“We’ve 39 discovery points along the Wild Atlantic Way in Donegal and the primary focus this year is going to be Fanad Lighthouse. Fanad Lighthouse is one of our iconic signature points along the Wild Atlantic Way. So, it gives us a great opportunity to showcase it both to the people taking part virtually, and to those that are at home,” Joan added.
“It’s our intention to work with the Donegal Half Marathon in terms of showcasing those discovery points all along the Wild Atlantic Way, so we have a partnership that’s going to be here for a long time to come. I think it’s a great incentive to get people involved and collecting those 39 medals that are the discovery points in Donegal.
“The Donegal Half Marathon will assist us in promoting Donegal as a county, to people both at home and abroad. The event had huge numbers taking part virtually last year. There’s an actual race this year, so we’re hoping to see large number participating,” the Wild Atlantic Way Manager said.
This year’s Donegal Half Marathon starts at 9.20 am and will be sponsored by the Kernan’s Retail Group, with support from Donegal County Council, Optum, Donegal Sports Partnership and Donegal Volunteer Centre.

Lough Cutra Castle 10k, Half Marathon & Marathon
2021-09-11 08:00 - 17:00 | Lough cutra, Galway, Ireland
***The May event has been deferred to this new date in September due to the ongoing COVID19 situation. **
Lough Cutra Castle in Gort is the backdrop to this action-packed weekend of triathlon racing in Gort, Co. Galway, hosted within the beautiful grounds of the Castle and surrounding area of stunning South Galway.
Castle Run Series

Building on the success of the Castle Run Series introduction in 2018, with the Marathon, Half Marathon and 10k will continue to take place at Lough Cutra Castle on Sunday 30th May.
This stunning and unique multi-terrain course will incorporate spectator friendly loops of beautiful countryside, the Castle lake, quaint local villages and of course Lough Cutra Castle itself. Each runner will receive a medal and will be welcomed across the finish line with a banquet of well-earned treats, with live bands, food stalls, a retail area and camping at the castle making the weekend a festival of sporting achievements.
In addition to the Run Series events there’s a lot more on offer over the weekend to suit all athletes across a multitude of disciplines.
Castle Swim Series
The swim only event provides the choice of three different distances: 5km 2.5km and 1mile (see price table below) and boasts a unique and stunning swim route in all the stunning castle lakes.
The swim described by many triathletes as the ‘best open water swim ever completed’ will now be open to outdoor swimmers as an event in its own right.
One mile leisure and family swim
Enjoy the beautiful setting of Lough Cutra Castle at your own pace. Swim any stroke you like (breaststroke encouraged), swim and chat with friends as you go around. Don’t worry about how long it takes (however time limit set at 90 minutes), just enjoy it. Under 16’s welcome if accompanied throughout by a competent responsible adult, however we do have a minimum age of 13.

MultiSport

If the thought of completing all three disciplines of triathlon at once is holding you back from signing up to one of our events, our multisport distances could be perfect for you! Perhaps an injury is preventing you from running, you can’t get your hands on a bike for the summer or the idea of swimming in the lake is just too much. We have created the multisport events to allow our competitors to compete in two disciplines of your choice within our triathlons. The same stunning courses tailored to suit you!

Triathlon Events
All of the triathlon races at Lough Cutra Castle kick-off by launching into an open-water swim in the lake, transitioning to the bike route which circumnavigates Lough Cutra itself with The Half Iron Gauntlet cycle taking in the beautiful and breathtaking Burren National Park whilst the run features a mixed terrain in the stunning surroundings of the Castle.
The 2021 edition of the Castle Tri Series of events promises once again to be an amazing festival of triathlon & multisport with events of various distances to test those chasing a personal best and embrace those who are dipping their toes into the sport of triathlon for the very first time.
There are a host of junior races on offer for the aspiring young athlete across the weekend so come with the family and fanclub, enjoy the racing and festival atmosphere regardless of age or ability and make Lough Cutra your destination race in 2021.

There is something for everyone at Lough Cutra Castle Triathlon & Multi-Sport festival in 2021, check out all the details on www.loughcutratri.ie

Mullingar Half Marathon 2021
2021-09-25 10:30 - 15:00
ABOUT US

We believe in the power of running for everyone, from beginners to elite athletes. This flat course is ideal for your first half marathon or to achieve your personal best. The Mullingar Half Marathon starts in the town center, runs out to the countryside, along the Royal Canal and back to the Mullingar Town Park to the finish line.
All proceeds of the Mullingar Half Marathon go to our chosen charity T.E.A.M. (Temporary Emergency Accommodation Midlands).

Racers Recieve

While the 2020 Mullingar Half Marathon, scheduled for March 17th, had to be postponed only weeks before the event, due to Covid, the Mullingar Half Marathon organising committee put in a huge amount of work and committed a lot of expenditure putting everything in place in advance of the event.
In light of this and in keeping with our move to a more sustainable event, and our ultimate objective to raise much needed funds for local charity T.E.A.M., we are going to utilise the 2020 merchandise for the upcoming 2021 event. This includes finishers medals and t-shirts, which include the March 2020 date.
While a big objective of the race is to create an enjoyable event for all runners we must also be mindful of our commitment to our local charity T.E.A.M. and be considerate of their fundraising shortfall in 2020.
Like us, a lot of you were disappointed the race couldn’t go ahead last year and couldn’t get your 2020 medals and t-shirts so we hope you will understand and support us in our sustainable and financial decision for utilising the fantastic 2020 merchandise.

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.
