SUMMARY:Mullingar Half Marathon

We advise that no valuables such as cash\, jewellery etc should be left in the bag drop area\n\n  \nAbout Mullingar as a Town \nAn introduction to Mullingar from mullingar.ie \nSomeone wrote on Twitter recently: “is everyone in #Mullingar famous?” Not quite. But we have more than our fare share of people to be proud of. Mullingar is where it all started for performers Joe Dolan\, Niall Horan and Niall Breslin. The Swarbriggs are from here. So is soprano Ailish Tynan. Mick Foster lives here. Then\, that’s hardly surprising\, for there can be few towns in Ireland with as vibrant a music scene\, with so many bands. \nAnd indeed\, providing early training for many who’ve gone on to become professional musicians are two great local institutions – the Schola Cantorum music school at St Finian’s College\, and Mullingar Town Band. \nThe town has always had a great theatrical tradition too: the annual pantomime books out early every year; there are several drama groups operating locally. James Joyce spent much time in Mullingar – and indeed\, even gives the town several mentions in Ulysses. \nSir John Betjeman visited the area – and wrote a poem here; Ginger Man author JP Donlevy still lives here. \nThis is a town with a great sporting heritage: if you like GAA\, rugby\, soccer\, you’re well catered for. And it’s equally the case if you like athletics\, cycling\, golf\, tennis\, swimming\, bowls\, pitch and putt\, pool or greyhound racing. You name your sport\, and you’ll find it locally. \nIt’s got a lively nightlife\, with loads of great restaurants; loads of great pubs\, and plenty of great places to go clubbing. \nIf you like the outdoor life\, there are three major lakes all within a ten minute drive from town; we’ve got the fantabulous Belvedere House\, where all manner of activities and festivities and fetes and festivals take place all year round; and Mullingar Town Park is a beautiful place to escape from the hustle and bustle. \nFor shopping\, a feature that attracts visitors is the fact that the main streets are lined with small shops. If you’re looking for something unique\, and fashion is your passion\, then you’ll have a field day in Mullingar. \nThe museum at Mullingar Cathedral is home to vestments that were worn by St Oliver Plunkett; a ring belonging to Marie Antoinette; and the mosaic murals in the Cathedral itself are the work of the famed Russian artist\, Boris Anrep. \nWe know Mullingar is a great town. But we don’t really like to brag.

SUMMARY:Portumna Forest Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Portumna is a small town in the heart of rural Galway on the West Coast of Ireland. The name Portumna comes from the Irish word Port Omna\, meaning the landing place of the oak tree. So not surprisingly\, perched on the edge of the quaint little town is a magnificent 450 hectacres of coniferous woodland of Scots Pine and Norway spruce. Portumna Forest Park is also home to a whole host of animals including Fallow deer and the red Squirrel. Every June\, the agility of the wild animals in their natural habitat is mimicked by the ‘best of the best’ of distance runners from all over Ireland. In recent years participants have come from all over the world in their quest to find the ultimate Ultra marathon. \nTaking 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 rain drops 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. \nThere is of course a more practical reason that this Marathon remains one of the most popular ultra events in the country – Portumna\, whilst rural\, is also very accessible from all four corners of the country. \nBy the time nightfall descends on a summer Saturday night\, over 1\,000 competitors would have completed one of the five races on offer -100km\, 50km\, Full Marathon\, Half Marathon or 10k. The fact that runners of all ability and speed are running together turns the event into a motivational haven where training tips and running experiences are shared enroute and everyone leaves determined to move up to the next distance before returning next year. \nFor more infomation on the event click HERE
