Craughwell 10k

The Craughwell 10k is the shorter companion to the popular Craughwell 10 Mile, organised by Craughwell Athletic Club in County Galway and first added in 2019. Like the longer race, it starts in Craughwell village before heading out through the quaint and scenic countryside and surrounding hinterlands of south Galway on quiet rural roads, finishing outside Gilligan Park GAA grounds where finisher medals are collected. Relatively flat and fast by West of Ireland standards, the AAI-certified and chip-timed course is well suited to club runners chasing a quick time as well as those stepping up from shorter distances. Race headquarters is at St Michael's Hall in the village, where post-race food, refreshments and the event's famous scones are served. With its friendly yet electric atmosphere and meticulous organisation, the 10k shares all the appeal that has made the event a Galway favourite.
