About this race
Staged each September in the medieval city of Kilkenny, this single-loop race starts in the Abbey Quarter, threads its historic streets, then unwinds along quiet County Kilkenny country roads before finishing at the Water Barracks. Now in its 9th edition, it offers four distances from 8:15am on Saturday 12 September 2026: full marathon, an unusual 30K, half marathon and 10K. Walkers are welcome under a seven-hour cut-off, and every finisher earns a bespoke medal and technical tee.
