Virtual Medieval Marathon Kilkenny
2020-09-12 08:00 - 17:00
*It is with great regret that we need to inform you that this year’s event has been postponed until 2021. After much deliberation and close consultation with local authorities and Gardaí, we feel this was the best decision for all concerned. Our primary concern is you, our valued participant and we feel deeply saddened at having to reach this decision.
With the ever-changing circumstances and recent government decision deciding not to move to phase 4, we feel that it would not be fair to you the participant to reduce your overall race day experience and place your safety at risk.

However, we do have some good news. We have decided to go virtual with the event. We hope you can enjoy this virtual experience with your fellow participants and take part in the fun.

Please Do Not allow anyone else to run with your number
Allowing someone else to use your number in this manner is unfair to those who missed out on the entry limits.
This also means you are not covered by our 3rd party insurance which is vital for this event to take place on the public roads and to utilise privately owned land for parking, etc
It also adversely effects the results service we can provide with our timing partner particularly in relation to age group prizes and in the past has given us incorrect results where some category winners have missed out on being presented with their prizes on the day, etc so Please “Play Fair & Comply With Conditions Of Entry Thanks“

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.
