Inis Mor Half Marathon

The Inis Mor Half Marathon is an iconic event which has been running for more than two decades. This project is the brainchild of Aer Arann who have helped organise and supported it since 2000.

 

This unique event has clocked up many miracle miles for our children's hospitals, it has raised over 1 Million Euro, which is phenomenal.

A plaque of appreciated hangs on the walls in Temple Street Children's Hospital to this day acknowledging this great event and the funds raised by its participants. 

This event has enabled us to purchase many pieces of vital life saving equipment over the years to support various departments within the hospital, such as ICU, Theatre, Renal, Respiratory and A&E to name but a few.

We simply could not have done this without the help of the committee, the community and the participants of this event and indeed local businesses.

Heartfelt thanks as always. Angi

In 2020 we had to post postpone our annual gathering because of this awful Pandemic, but when the time is right we will return to our beloved Inis Mor.

So whether you run, walk, or jog, the Inis Mór Annual Half Marathon, it is a unique and memorable experience for all involved. The event will take place on Inis Mór Island off the coast of Galway in April 2021.

Steeped in history and renowned for its outstanding beauty, Inis Mor and its inhabitants allow participants to experience a weekend of enjoyment and fulfillment.

This half marathon is one of the most scenic runs you will do which is why it attracts so many participants every year. The entire route passes through magnificent coastline scenery with fine views of wide bays and sandy beaches, making its beauty and uniqueness world famous.

All you have to do to take part in this unique running event is help us help our little patients. We need you to raise €650 to be part of our weekend race package which provides return transport from the mainland to Inis Mor, all transfers, accommodation, gala dinners x 2, merchandise, refreshments, race entry, race top and medal. We also provide Overnight Race Packages and Day Trip Packages for those who cannot make the full weekend.
