Glendalough Lap of the Gap Marathon
Join Glendalough Lap of the Gap Marathon 2023
Irelands toughest road marathon!
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 'Guinness 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.
Course details
A classical cycling route slightly re-done to add up to exactly 42.2 kilometres or the full marathon distance running clockwise up to Sally Gap via the Glenmacnass Waterfall before meandering past Lough Tay and returning via the Drummin/Oldbridge townland.
To say the route is hilly is not doing it justice - its a marathon to run for the pure experience, the physical and mental challenge and the scenery rather than the personal best potential!
Start address: Glendalough, Ireland
Finish address: Brockagh Resource Centre, Ballard, Glendalough, County Wicklow, Ireland

Domande Frequenti
When and where can I collect my BIB/race pack?
All bibs were shipped on 16th May arriving on 17-18th May to Irish addresses. Bibs not received or those with non-Irish addresses should collect their bibs Friday evening (6-8 pm) in Lynhams Hotel or Saturday morning in Glendalough Hotel no more than 20 minutes before your race starts.
Can someone collect my race pack for me?
No, you must collect it yourself
How do I get to the race location?
You can use public transport (Friday evening), take your own car, or purchase a ticket for the shuttle (pending government restrictions)
Can I change the distance after I purchase a ticket?
yes, you can change distance down to half-marathon free of charge or pay an additional fee to upgrade to the full marathon.
What is the cancelation/refund policy for this event?
As per EU statutory law you can avail of a refund within the 14-day cooling-off period post ticket purchase. There is a strict no refund policy after this point but you can avail of a transfer to future years or transfer your ticket to a friend.
What type of course is the race?
It's a road race (on tarred surfaces) but through very hilly scenic roads in the National Park (so expect an adventure - not a PB!).
Can I have support on the course?
No support is allowed outside of the official water/aid stations as support vehicle and bikes on the course would provide a hazard for traffic.
Why is the start so early? Are the roads closed?
It is not possible currently to close the roads of the National Park for a race such as this, so you are sharing the road with other road users. For this reason we start the events early, so we can clear the busiest stretch of road (the first 3 km) as early in the day as possible. For this reason: - 8 am start for the marathon - 8:30 am start for the half-marathon
