The Coast Half Marathon & 10K
The event takes place in Killough, County Down, and uses an out-and-back route along the coast with views of the Mourne Mountains. Both races start and finish on the village green and follow Main Street onto a country road toward Rossglass.
Distances:
- Half Marathon follows the coast past ruins of a church dated 1170 and continues to St John’s Point Lighthouse.
- 10K turns back at Rossglass and returns to the village green.
The half marathon route reaches St John’s Point Lighthouse, which has stood since 1844, then follows the coastline toward Tyrella and Minerstown Beach before returning to Killough.
Facilities and services noted for participants include posted race packs, individual chip timing, race numbers, a finishers medal, and complimentary post race refreshments. There are four water stations on the half marathon course and one water station on the 10K route at the Rossglass halfway point. Toilet facilities are available near the start and on the route at Rossglass, and also at the Killough Community Centre. Parking will be available in the village with details to follow.
