About the Event

Discover true Irish countryside running hospitality at the Tullaroan Festival of Running in County Kilkenny on Saturday, May 30, 2026. This beloved family-friendly event offers a perfect distance for everyone, from a fast 5k and 10k to a half marathon, full marathon, and a challenging 39.3-mile ultra marathon. All races start and finish at the welcoming Tullaroan Athletics Club grounds, where you'll experience the famous warm community spirit and enjoy the "thrills in the Tullaroan Hills" on a scenic, looped course through the beautiful rural landscape. With dedicated camping, camper van facilities, and showers available, it's a full weekend adventure where runners and supporters can relax and connect. The event is renowned for its incredible value and fantastic post-race atmosphere, where every finisher receives a bespoke medal, and participants in the 10k and longer distances get the iconic event t-shirt. After your race, refuel with homemade baking and a cup of tea or celebrate with a well-earned pint at the clubhouse bar. Organized by the local athletics club, this is grassroots Irish running at its very best—friendly, challenging, and deeply rewarding. Whether you're testing your limits on the ultra course or enjoying a parkrun-style 5k with the family, you'll be part of a special day in the heart of Ireland's Ancient East. Book early to secure your spot and your t-shirt for this gem of a running festival.
