*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.

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.

It’s Fun

Mullingar Half Marathon 2021
2021-09-25 10:30 - 15:00 | Co Meath
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.

Glendalough Lap of the Gap Marathon and 1/2 marathon
2023-05-20 07:30 - 15:00 | Brockagh Centre, Brockagh Resource Centre, Laragh
GLENDALOUGH LAP OF THE GAP

A marathon through the scenic heart of County Wicklow starting in Glendalough and taking in the ‘Sally Gap’. Plenty of hills are repaid with plenty of scenery and a warm Wicklow welcome!
Cyclists have long known the allure of the ‘Lap of the Gap’ circuit taking you from the village of Laragh to the highland pass of Sallygap and back past Lough Tay (the ‘Guiness Lake’). A scenic route with plenty of ups and plenty of downs. From quiet country back lanes to the barren and dramatic heather landscapes once you pass the Glenmacnass Waterfall. Both our marathon and half-marathon adds a ‘tail’ to the traditional Lap of the Gap to allow you to start in the monastic village of Glendalough – one of Ireland’s most popular tourist destinations.
We hope you will get not just a race out of our event – but an experience for a lifetime.

Please note we have strict limits to how many runners we can allow on the roads of the National Park so we may sell out ahead of the day – best sign-up early to avoid disappointment!
PRIZES
There will be prizes for top-3 men and women and the first finisher in each of the following categories: over-40, over-50, over-60, over-70 and so on.

Register for the marathon or half-marathon
