Brandon Bay Half Marathon 2026

The Brandon Bay 10k begins and ends at Fahamore in the Maharees, serving as the gateway to this unique all-beach running event. The 10k course follows a scenic out-and-back route entirely on the golden sands, wrapping around the bay with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Slieve Mish mountains. Participants are guided by the majesty of Mount Brandon as they navigate the wide, open coastline of the Dingle Peninsula. The terrain is notably flat and fast, consisting of solid sand that provides a firm surface, though runners may cross small mountain streams depending on the weather. This professional event offers a truly immersive coastal challenge on one of Ireland's longest and most beautiful beaches.
