Ireland West 10k

The Ireland West 10k is one of the shorter running options at the award-winning event hosted by Swinford Athletic Club in County Mayo, run alongside the rare ¾ marathon and a 5k. Race registration and headquarters are at Swinford Community Centre, just off the N5, with the course taking in the fast, scenic countryside of East Mayo. Run on quiet rural roads through peaceful farmland, the route shares the same picturesque setting that the longer distance is known for, near landmarks such as the River Moy. Relatively flat and fast by West of Ireland standards, it suits both club runners chasing a quick time and those stepping up from shorter distances. Chip-timed and well marshalled, the event offers cash prizes, trophies and a finisher's medal, along with a warm West of Ireland welcome and after-race hospitality back at headquarters.
