Ballybunion has long been one of Ireland's foremost seaside resorts with miles of sandy beaches, spectacular cliff top walks and two world class links golf courses.
 
On April 23rd 2011 (Easter Saturday) Ballybunion will host its second half marathon and 10k road race, and whether you are a "first timer" or experienced athlete this event has something for everyone. So what are you waiting for? Register NOW!!
 
The event will again create the "big city marathon feel" in an idyllic rural location and will be run to the highest possible standards and with chip timing, water stations every three miles, and medals and high quality T-shirts for all finishers.
 
The 2010 event was a huge success, and a bigger and better event is planned for 2011 including a free children's event over the weekend, and a free running seminar and post event barbeque/party for all participants.
 
The Ballybunion Half Marathon course is a perfect 13.1 mile loop along the beautiful North Kerry coastline. Starting in the town you will encounter wonderful views of the beaches and cliff tops. Travelling north you will run along the Shannon estuary where the spectacular scenery will shorten your journey. 
 
The run will take you past the unspoilt Beale strand before the turning for home a few miles short of the village of Asdee. The last few miles will take you back to Ballybunion where the coastline is never far from view.
 
The course is both scenic and challenging with some interesting inclines along the route and a very fast downhill finish.
 
The Ballybunion 10k Route is an "out & back" course along a scenic section of the half marathon course.
