About the race
The Dingle Marathon is a coastal road event centred on Dingle town with both a Full Marathon and Half Marathon option. The route travels west from Dingle along the coast past Ventry to Slea Head, continues via Dún Chaoin and north to Baile an Fheirtéaraigh and Gallarus, then returns south to finish in Dingle town. Runners pass views of the Blasket Islands along the course.
Services provided as part of entry include a race pack with bib and integrated timing chip, medical support, water stations positioned at roughly three-mile intervals (with toilets at these stations), post-race refreshments, and a customised finisher top and medal. Race numbers are used for timing and medical identification; entries are non-transferable and entry fees are non-refundable.
Logistics include posted race packs for Irish participants and on-site collection for overseas or “for collection” entries. A baggage system is operated with separate collection points for half and full participants. The course is measured and marked in miles. Spectators may watch the route but must obey road closure restrictions and steward directions; bicycles and motorised vehicles are forbidden on the course except official vehicles. Volunteers and official photographers are part of the event; official photos are published free of charge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
