6th May 2012

On Sunday May 6th the streets of Limerick will fill once again with runners, joggers and walkers from far and wide. The 2011 event saw over 7000 participants enjoy a superb day out and the 2012 event promises to be even bigger and better.

There's something here for everyone! The event consists of three fully certified races:a marathon, a half marathon and a 6 mile race all commencing over a staggered start schedule.

The three events commence over a staggered start schedule. The marathon starts at 9am, the half marathon starts at 11.30am and the 6 mile starts at 1pm.

All participants will convene at the same congregation area and finish at the same finishing line. The race is unique for many reasons.

The marathon enters the city on no less than four occasions which helps to generate great support for the athletes. The route has been carefully designed to incorporate the many sporting and historic highpoints in Limerick including the city center Georgian architecture, the world famous University of Limerick, King Johns Castle, The Treat Stone and Thomond Park.

The race follows the River Shannon in many places adding to the overall occasion. A total of 10 musical points are located along the last 10KM to help everyone enjoy the day and celebrate a great occasion in the Sporting Capital of Ireland.
