Great Limerick Run
The Regeneron Great Limerick Run is a mass participation running event held in Limerick, scheduled for 2 May 2027. The programme comprises several races and competitions that take place across the weekend and in the city area.
The event list includes:
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 6-mile race
- Marathon relay
- Kids Fun Run
- Volkswagen Financial Services Fittest Company Challenge
Organisers report over 16,000 race entrants in 2025. An economic and social impact report commissioned by Limerick City Council found that 49% of respondents stated the event was the main reason they started physical exercise. The Kids Fun Run is organised in conjunction with Limerick City & County Council. The Fittest Company Challenge is a business competition held as part of the event.
Route maps are provided for the full marathon, half marathon and 6-mile courses. The event offers an online fundraising option: when participants register they can create a fundraising page tied to a chosen charity, which is generated automatically and can be shared online. Sponsors named on event materials include Regeneron and Volkswagen Financial Services Ireland. The organiser also notes that the event is independent of the Great Run Series.
