Athy Half Marathon
The Athy Half Marathon takes place in Athy town centre, County Kildare, with routes that start and finish at the Shackleton Museum. The event offers three distances and uses closed roads for the main routes. Chip timing is used and all finishers receive a medal and a gift.
The event lists the following distances:
- Half Marathon (21.1 km) : scenic closed-road course; entry restricted to over 18s.
- 10 km : a shorter road distance on the event course.
- 5 km Fun Run : a family-friendly route open to all ages and abilities.
The course layout allows spectators to watch runners at a point 1.5 km out from town and then return to the finish to see athletes complete the race. The organisers describe the event as established and professionally timed. The town of Athy is noted as being approximately one hour from Dublin.
