Connemara Marathon

Comprising of a Half Marathon, a Full Marathon and a 39.3 mile Ultra Marathon all taking place on the one day in late March or early April.

The popular sport of long-distance running is transformed for runners and walkers in the dramatic setting of mountains, glacier lakes, rugged green-brown landscape that winds in and around the challenging mountain wilderness of Connemara. The course meanders past bogs, hills, lakes, and the Twelve Bens Mountains rising up over Killary Lough, through the quiet village of Leenane, around the Maam Turk Mountains and all the way back up to Maam Cross. International participants enjoy the Irish welcome, the sense of comradeship on the lonely route and unmistakable buzz throughout the day.

The RONHILL Connemara Ultra Marathon is Ireland’s only annual on-road ultra marathon.
