About the race
The Glendalough Lap of the Gap is a road marathon held in the Wicklow Mountains National Park near Laragh, County Wicklow. The event was created in 2016 and includes an alternative Glen to Glen half-marathon. The organisers describe the marathon as a road race that offers many of the visual qualities of a trail run, with varied scenery through the national park.
Distances:
- Marathon
- Half-marathon (Glen to Glen)
The race supports Glendalough Athletics Club and other local sports clubs. The event publishes a Competitor Handbook and a key information page that cover pre-race preparation, travel to the start, course procedures, finish-line arrangements and post-race information. Ticket pricing has three tiers, typically ranging from €65.00 to €85.00. There is a 24-hour cooling-off window, followed by a 3-day refund policy; after that point entries can be deferred to the next year or transferred to another person via Race Space.
Communications include a news page and a FAQ. Past editions post results and race photos. The organisers note practical details such as marshals on course, post-race items like t-shirts and coasters, and use of coach and car parking services for access to the start. The event date listed for the 10th edition is Saturday 22 May 2027. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
