About the Connemara International Marathon

Connemara's marathon is a destination road race through one of Ireland's most dramatic rural landscapes. Shuttle logistics and a remote start are part of the day.

Course

Starting beside Lough Inagh, the route travels toward Maam Cross through the Maam Turk country. Long rollers and the climb from Maam Valley test runners late.

Race-day weather

April in Connemara can bring rain, wind, sun, and cold in rapid sequence. Exposed roads offer little shelter, so adaptable layers and effort-based pacing matter.
