Antrim Coast Half Marathon 2026

The Antrim Coast Half Marathon begins near the Sandy Bay Playing Fields and Larne Town Park, offering a world-class experience along Northern Ireland’s iconic coastline. The fast, flat course sweeps through the vibrant Larne Harbour and town center before moving onto the world-famous Antrim Coast Road. Runners enjoy breathtaking views of the Irish Sea on one side and rolling green hills on the other, passing notable landmarks like the historic Black Arch. The route follows a predominantly level tarmac surface as it reaches the picturesque turning point at Ballygally village. Participants then return along the scenic shorefront to a grand finish at the historic Chaine Memorial Tower.
