About this race

The Tullaroan Festival of Running Marathon is organised by Tullaroan Athletics Club and takes place on a two-loop course covering the rural roads of Tullaroan, Co. Kilkenny. Each loop follows the same scenic circuit that forms the half marathon course, meaning marathon runners complete two full laps of the undulating route through the Kilkenny countryside. The rolling hills and open farmland roads provide a challenging but rewarding setting. All finishers receive the popular Tullaroan t-shirt and a bespoke medal. The event is chip-timed and supported by water stations, with post-race refreshments and bar access available at the finish in the village. A team competition operates across four distances, adding a competitive team element to the festival.
