Connamara International Half Marathon 2026

The Connemara International Half Marathon features a breathtaking point to point paved course that begins in the picturesque village of Leenane and concludes at the event hub in Maam Cross. The route travels along the majestic Killary Fjord, guiding participants through a dramatic landscape of glacial lakes, vast bogs, and the towering Twelve Pins mountain range. While officially classified as a road race, the terrain is defined by its relentless rolling hills, including two significant, "honest" climbs that test both rhythm and resolve. Runners enjoy 13.1 miles of unpolluted West of Ireland air on a 100% tarmac surface.
