Clonbur Woods

The Clonbur Woods parkrun begins and ends at the main entrance to the woods, conveniently located just outside the village of Clonbur near Pat Burke’s garage. This scenic out-and-back course leads participants through a peaceful managed woodland trail that offers breathtaking views of Lough Mask and the Clonbur River. Runners traverse a historic landscape once part of the Ashford Estate, passing the hidden remains of the 13th-century Ballykine Castle. The terrain is primarily flat and fast, consisting of well-maintained gravel paths, though it features a few short, challenging climbs that test your pace. This professionally organized event provides a serene and sheltered environment, making it a favorite for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Galway-Mayo border.
