Elite Racers

In 2019 we had record numbers and a new course record (1h 42′ 32″) set by Mark Kenneally just 4 seconds ahead of Thomas Hayes with Eric Keogh and Gary O Hanlon also breaking the old course record.

Mark and Gary went onto to both beak 2h 17′ in the Dublin Marathon 3 weeks later and Eric ran 2h 18′ in Frankfurt 🙂

Ladies winner was Isobel Oakes in 2h 07′ 02″ ahead of Jan Corcoran and Kealey Tidswell

General route for the 2021 Irish 3/4 Marathon is shown HERE.

I’ve done a lot of events over the last few years including runs, cycles and adventure races and never have I given any feedback but I felt I had to after this one. I thoroughly enjoyed the race and the organisation and planning put in was second to none! From the parking to registration to the route and the finish line it was excellently organised! I couldn’t fault a thing! I will definitely be recommending it to anyone doing the marathon.
