Description
Run Galway Bay is a premier running event set along the stunning coastline of Galway Bay, offering participants a choice of 10K, Half Marathon, and Full Marathon distances. The event typically takes place in early October.
The flat and fast course begins at Nimmo's Pier in the historic Claddagh area of Galway City. Runners are treated to panoramic views of the Clare mountains across the Atlantic waters as they traverse through the heart of the seaside resort of Salthill and along one of Europe's longest promenades, hugging the world-famous Galway Bay.
Participants can expect a well-organized event with amenities such as water stations, first aid support, and toilets positioned every three miles along the route. Upon completion, all runners receive a finisher's medal and T-shirt, with fruit and light refreshments available to replenish energy levels.
