Clontarf Half Marathon

For you runners out there things seem to be getting pretty busy.

This weekend a bunch of ye will be taking part in the Clontarf Half Marathon on Saturday July 13th.

The Half Marathon starts at 10 Am at Clontarf and Alfie Byrne Rd Junction, runners will run directly up the Promenade along Clontarf Road keeping to the walking path (beside the water). They will also be able to run on the grass beside the path where possible. This path takes them up to the Bull Island Bridge. They will then turn right and cross the bridge and proceed straight onto the beach.

From here they will continue along the sand to Dollymount. At Dollymount they will rejoin the road and run up  the causeway to James Larkin Road. Turning right onto the cycle and walk paths they will continue along the promenade as far as the Kilbarrack Road. They turn around here. This is a ¼ Marathon distance.

The return leg follows the same route.

As the runners will spend the majority of their time off the road the disruptions should be fairly minor, but we advise that you avoid the area until about half 1.
