About the Dingle Marathon
This small-town destination race is known for expansive coastal scenery and enthusiastic local support. Its remote Kerry setting rewards runners who plan transport and lodging early.
Course
Leaving Dingle, runners wind around Slea Head toward the peninsula's western edge. Rolling climbs, exposed bends, and long ocean views define the challenge.
