Connemarathon

Distance:

Connemara, a place of contrasts, colours, wilderness and warm welcomes on the west coast of Ireland. From the bogs and lakes of the Gaelic speaking South Connemara, to the mountain vistas of North and West Connemara, the diversity of the landscape and the people who populate it offers much to the visitor. The Connemarathon has truly become an International marathon. It is a special place and the organisers look forward to welcoming overseas visitors to the event. 

The main Irish airports are in Dublin and Shannon, while Galway, Maam Cross, Clifden, are Oughterard are great places to stay. Buses to the start lines operate from both Galway, Clifden and Oughterard and return to these locations after the race. We have based accommodation in Galway but feel free to change the destination and stay elsewhere!
