Abbott Longford Marathon
The Abbott Longford Marathon is an annual running event first held in 2002 to mark the completion of a 100th marathon by a local runner. The event is organised by runners and takes place on a flat course in the centre of Ireland, crossing the counties of Longford, Roscommon and Leitrim. A permit has been approved for the event, cert.no: 25/602.
The programme includes several race options on the same day, covering a range of distances and formats. Organisers present multiple choices to accommodate different race formats while maintaining a course described as flat and routed through town and county roads.
Distances and formats:
- 5 km Streets of Longford
- Half marathon
- Marathon
- Marathon team relay
- 39.3 mile Ultra Marathon
The event has been held for more than two decades and is positioned within the athletics running calendar. Organisers state the race is run by runners, for runners, and emphasise practical organisation and participant experience on race day.
