Regeneron Great Limerick Run
The Regeneron Great Limerick Run is a mass participation road race held in Limerick each May Bank Holiday weekend. The event offers multiple measured, closed-road courses through the city and along the River Shannon, finishing on O’Connell Street with spectator support in the city centre.
Distances include:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 6 Mile
Race services include chip timing, a finisher’s medal, an event t-shirt, finish-line refreshments, and a photowall. The course is certified and marked, with toilets at the start, along the route, and at the finish. Water stations provide small bottles at specified mile markers for each distance.
Practical arrangements: bag drop is available for one small bag only and closes at 16:00. The course closes at 16:00 and the first half closes earlier. There are official pacers listed for marathon and half marathon target times. Race numbers are posted if registered more than six weeks before the event; otherwise they must be collected on the designated collection day. On-street parking is generally free on Sundays where permitted, and a free shuttle bus runs between Limerick Greyhound Stadium and a city drop-off point for participants and spectators.
Age limits apply: minimum 16 years for the 6 Mile and relay legs, and 18 years for half and full marathon entries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
