Where does running take you next?

A very scenic setting without too many people participating. Kit pickup was smooth and easy, and the course was peaceful and relatively flat. A great event all around!

Paraphrasing a review elsewhere that quoted a knowledgeable local: "...only the first 9 miles are uphill". We took an hour's flight from Heathrow to Shannon and hired a small car (€30 for two days) which had us in Ballyheigh 90" or so later. If you looking for a low key, visually spectacular, friendly and extremely well organised event to serve as a test of skill for, say, the Athens marathon (same profile just not so far), this is for you. So glad we came (and that includes my partner who did not have to run). Shout out for the Cliff Hotel restaurant in Ballybunion too.

Way more than a marathon and a true epic adventure.
