About the race
The Regeneron Great Limerick Run is a mass-participation road race in Limerick City held each May Bank Holiday weekend. The event brings together over 20,000 runners and offers three routes that all start at Pery Square and finish together on O’Connell Street on closed roads through the city.
Distances:
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 6 Mile
Course features include professionally measured and certified routes, chip timing, and a city-centre finish beside cheering crowds. The marathon route runs along the River Shannon, passes the University of Limerick and Thomond Park, and returns to the city centre. The half marathon follows a loop past city landmarks and joins the other races for the final stretch. The 6 Mile route runs through the heart of Limerick.
Participant services listed for the event include a bespoke running T-shirt, finisher’s medal, finish-line refreshments, photowall, and a bag-drop facility for one small bag per entrant. A shuttle bus operates between Limerick Greyhound Stadium and a city drop-off point for participants and spectators. The course closes at 4:00pm. Race numbers are posted or collected in advance; there is no race-day collection. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
