Malahide

The Malahide parkrun begins and ends at the top of the pedestrian avenue beside the Bridgefield entrance, conveniently located near the village and train station. This scenic 5k course features a unique layout that guides participants around the local golf course and through a beautiful, "enchanted" wooded area. Runners enjoy a route that passes landmarks like the cricket grounds and tennis courts, offering striking views of the historic 12th-century Malahide Castle. The terrain is a reliable mixture of smooth tarmac and fine gravel paths, providing a consistent and smooth surface for athletes of all levels. Celebrated for being exceptionally flat and fast, the course is famously the oldest in Ireland and is a premier choice for those seeking a personal best despite a slight incline near the finish line.
