Participatory sports on the island of Ireland
In Ireland, it’s all about getting stuck in: whether you’re sweating it out in a marathon, kayaking downriver or sinking your boots into muddy grounds at a walking festival. After all, where else can you go from bogland to road to sandy beaches all within an hour? Ireland’s size makes it ideal for sporting adventures.
Belfast City Marathon
Ready to run?
If you’re all about epic scenery and tough terrain, then head west to the Connemarathon (April) in County Galway. Run through bogs and sleepy villages, past glassy lakes and hauntingly beautiful landscapes, all under the shadow of the mighty Twelve Bens mountain range. Your reward includes your very own t-shirt, medal and, of course, a huge sense of achievement!
Looking to really push yourself? Try the Belfast City Marathon (May): a run, wheelchair race, and team-relay option means there are many ways to enjoy racing through the city that built Titanic. Don’t have the energy for a 26-mile run? Try the Marathon Walk, an eight-mile walk specially introduced for ramblers – it’s the perfect way to participate in an event while soaking up the city sights.
Or how about the Dublin Marathon (October)? It’s a great shout if you fancy an autumnal adventure on the historic streets of Dublin.
Wander Wild Festival, County Kerry
Walk this way
If you want to take things at a slower pace and soak in the views, then try a walking festival. The Ballyhoura Walking Festival (October) in County Limerick – the oldest one in Ireland – started with a gathering of local walkers. Now, people flock here from all over the world. The gentle paths and forest tracks here mean it’s perfect for all ages. Along the way, guides will give you the inside scoop on local history and heritage.
Like your landscapes with a side of fantasy? Try the Wee Binnian Walking Festival (September) in the Mourne Mountains. Northern Ireland’s highest mountain range was the inspiration behind CS Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia and exploring the Mournes on foot ensures you won’t miss anything. The terrain covers boggy grass, forest trails and mountain tracks. Did we mention it’s an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty?
