Run Valentia Half Marathon 2026

The Run Valentia Half Marathon features a breathtaking, single-loop paved course that begins and ends at the Knightstown Promenade on the picturesque Valentia Island. Participants navigate a challenging coastal route that provides panoramic views of Dingle Bay and the Blasket Islands to the right, while the majestic Skellig Islands loom to the left. The terrain consists of 100% tarmac road but is defined by an honest series of rolling hills that showcase the island's rugged, wild Atlantic beauty. Runners enjoy a unique, traffic-free atmosphere with the ocean visible from nearly every point on the circuit.
