Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon

Cheerful, brightly painted Clonakilty is a bustling market town which serves as a hub for the scores of beguiling little coastal villages that surround it. You’ll find smart B&Bs, good restaurants and cosy pubs alive with music. Little waterways coursing through town add to the charm. Clonakilty is famous for two things: it’s the birthplace of Irish Free State commander-in-chief Michael Collins, embodied in a large statue on the corner of Emmet Sq; and it’s the home of the most famous black pudding in the country.

With that being said, the Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon is the place to be!!
