Run the Bridges 10k is a chip-timed road race held each September in the twin towns of Ballina and Killaloe on the shores of Lough Derg in east Co. Clare. The course crosses the bridges that connect Ballina in Tipperary with Killaloe in Clare, running along the banks of the River Shannon before looping through the surrounding roads. The tarmac route is largely flat and fast, with the scenic riverside setting providing a striking backdrop throughout. The event is a fundraiser for Ballina National School and regularly attracts over 350 finishers. All 10k finishers receive a commemorative medal. The race is the third event in the annual Run Clare series and is part of the broader 5k to 10-mile challenge format.
