Longford Marathon

The Abbott Longford Marathon offers athletic challenges with a Marathon, Half Marathon, Ultra Marathon, and 5K. Athletes participate at their own risk, as the organizers and sponsors do not take responsibility for accidents, injuries, or property loss. The Half Marathon features a flat, single-loop course starting and ending at the Longford Arms Hotel in Longford Town. After navigating a 1-mile loop through the town, athletes will tackle a few miles on the N5 Strokestown Road before heading onto serene rural roads lined with houses and farmyards, eventually merging back onto the N4 to return to Longford. Hydration stations are strategically placed approximately every 3 miles, with a special energy drinks station available at mile 9.
