The Ballinskelligs Marathon starts and finishes at the picturesque Ballinskelligs Beach, offering a rugged and scenic single-lap route through the heart of the Skellig Ring. The course guides participants across the Portmagee Bridge and along the coastal paths of Lúb Bhá Fhíonáin, featuring notable landmarks like the Skellig Ring Climb and panoramic ocean views. While the terrain is characterized by persistent rolling hills, the standout challenge is a climb ascent peaking near the 30-kilometer mark of the Coomanaspig Pass. The combination of dramatic elevation changes and stunning coastal scenery makes this marathon a premier endurance test for every runner.
