Beautiful environment - race for athletes

Beautiful environment in Connemara. The hills weren't that difficult, in fact I liked the hilly trail. All roads were asphalt, there was plenty space to run. There is a half marathon, full and the ultra. The atmosphere was great. I stayed at Peacock's in Maam Cross (the nearest place to the start) and just less than 100 meters from the finish. Just Ideal.

Great Alternative Marathon

Ran this as my first marathon as I wanted to do something different than follow the crowds to London. Great course through some of the most spectacular scenery Ireland has to offer, we were very lucky with the weather and had perfect conditions this year (I've heard the horror stories about the wind and hail in 2016). Not many spectators but I enjoyed battling the course myself with my own willpower keeping me going. Don't run this marathon if you hate hills as there are two major climbs at mile 13 and mile 22 plus a lot of smaller sometimes steeper 'testers'. Great medal. Highly recommended

Great Marathon!

Very tough marathon in a very beautiful part of the world. Weather did not cooperate but what are you gonna do. True runners run for sure! Not many spectators but I didn't care. Met some great people before and after! Feel free to contact me. Feel like I have to run it again to redeem myself. Lol. Seriously!
