About the race
The Dingle Marathon offers full and half marathon races along a coastal route on the Dingle Peninsula. The course travels west from Dingle town past Ventry to Slea Head, continues by Dún Chaoin and the Blasket Islands, goes north to Baile an Fheirtéaraigh and Gallarus, then returns to finish in Dingle town. The route is waymarked in miles and includes water stations with toilets at roughly three mile intervals; additional on-course refreshments include jellies, bananas and sports drink at specified mile points. Race entries include medical support, water stations, post-race refreshments, a customised finisher top and medal, and a race pack with bib and integrated timing chip.
Irish participants receive race packs by post approximately two weeks before the event; overseas and “for collection” entries collect race packs at the Dingle Marina office prior to the race. Race bibs must be worn to the front to record official timing. Logistics notes: baggage collection is provided with separate vans for half and full runners, free car parks are available on the approach to Dingle town within a short walk of the start, and spectators must follow road closure restrictions. Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Volunteers are used to support race day operations. Official photographers will publish images after the event. Course record times are published for both distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
