Calendar

Race calendar for the southern counties of Ireland - Updated 5th Sep 2026...

This calendar includes running events in Munster & Leinster as well as the county of Galway. It includes road races, fun runs, parkruns, trail & mountain races. Some long distance races (10-miles and above) are included further north. This is by far the most popular race calendar in Munster with an average of about 7,000 page views per month.

* * * 

Note that any runner who is not a member of an athletics club will be required to purchase a special 'One-Day Licence' when they enter a race with an Athletics Ireland permit. While this is advertised as costing '€2', there are additional fees.
