Lahinch Half Marathon 2025 (14th Sept)

The inaugural Lahinch Half Marathon took place in very windy and wet conditions on Sunday morning 14th September. Among the participants was Claire Lennon Gavin, who is from the area. Claire described her run as “feeling like I was going to be blown off the course while getting drowned with constant heavy showers” but considered it a great endurance test as she prepares for the Dublin City Marathon. The course followed much of the Wild Atlantic Way in the area, looping along country roads through Liscannor and the surrounding countryside, with rolling hills adding to the challenge. 300 runners completed the distance, and Claire was satisfied with her time of 1:58:00 [MO’S].
