Man O War 7km Round 2026

The Man O War 7km Round is a small, locally organised evening road race based in the rural townland of Man O' War in north County Dublin, between Skerries, Lusk and Balbriggan. The route starts close to the historic Man O' War pub and finishes back at the same point, running a loop on the quiet country roads of the surrounding Fingal countryside. It is known among runners as a genuinely challenging course, featuring a notable hill or two along the way that test the legs over the short distance. The race is held on tarmac rural roads in a peaceful, scenic setting away from busy towns. With its compact field, friendly atmosphere and pub-based start and finish, it has a relaxed community feel and offers a brisk midweek summer outing for runners looking for something a little different.
