If you have finally committed to running a half marathon, Ireland is a perfect destination. For a bit of Rock 'n' Roll nostalgia, the Rock 'n' Roll Dublin is an excellent choice. Not only about the half marathon competition, racers engage in an entire weekend-long festival. See the sites of Dublin all on foot as you race around the fantastic downtown course. The Rock 'n' Roll series is a once-in-a-lifetime experience unlike any other! And once you complete the Ireland event, you can go on to conquer all the other Rock 'n' Roll Half marathons around the globe.
One of Ireland's largest islands is Achill, and it is connected to the mainland by a short bridge. Although accessible, it is a diamond in the rough and frozen without the hands of modernity. Race thorough the Achill Half Marathon while viewing rocky headlands, soaring cliffs, and sandy beaches that are vast and remote. Be prepared for high winds, foggy conditions, and high seas! The Achill Half Marathon is not for the faint of heart!
For the beachcomber there is no greater adventure than the Brandon Bay Half Marathon. The course is entirely run on the seashore with high winds and grueling sand abound. Make sure to bring your sunscreen and be prepared for sunny skies and a friendly atmosphere.
Whatever it is that inspires you to run, it can be found in the unique and vast countryside of Ireland. Find the race that speaks to you and register today!
