Not so long ago there were no races on the Beara Peninsula. Now, there are 3 really spectacular ones...Bere Island, Eyeries and now Allihies.
The village of Allihies with its multi-coloured houses is located in one of the most scenic parts of the country and for anyone traveling some distance, this would be an excellent excuse for a weekend away.
Additional info from the organisers....The Heart of Allihies Five Mile run, the five mile run on the end of the fabulous Beara Peninsula. All of the money made on this event go to the Allihies Community Centre.

There are 4 really spectacular Beara Peninsula races as Wild Atlantic Way Run takes place in Castletownbere
Why have they moved this Race from a Saturday to a Sunday?
I THINK IT'S WORTH A TRY HAVING IT ON A SUNDAY AS IT MAY GET GET MORE LOCAL PEOPLE OUT . ALSO SELF- CATERING IN IRELAND USUALLY GOES FROM SATURDAY TO SATURDAY, HAVING THE RACE ON A SUNDAY GIVES ANYONE ON HOLIDAY ON THE PENINSULA THE CHANCE TO TAKE PART ON THE DAY. SO OVER ALL LETS GIVE IT A GO.

I will attend regardless of what day it's on. Any excuse to visit the most idyllic place in the country!
