 "Tough Beauty with a Shamrock of a Finish" (about: 2022)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 Dingle Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 A must do marathon. Runner friendly organization. Easy to manage logistics when I traveled from the USA. Same day race number pick up a plus. The race organizer gets 'the big picture' of catering to runner's needs. I saved some money by staying in Killarney yet I still was able to arrive well before the start. The course was crazy beautiful. We had a downpour for mile 1-10 but hey, its Ireland. Rolling hills so be trained. The last 10 miles had a cool view of Mt Brandon as the course routed beneath it. (I even hiked it the next day!) The town of Dingle is truly a prize with fun pubs and pints after the finish. Add this race to your international list for sure. | |

 "beautiful course, friendly people, brutal hills" (about: 2013)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Dingle Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 4 The Dingle marathon is probably the most scenic marathon I have run, particularly the stretch from miles 7 to 11 which hugs the inviting western Irish coast. The medal and top were first-class and the crowd support, while sparse, was always warm and friendly (I was continually humbled by Irish hospitality). In spite of the beauty, the course was very challenging with lots of tough climbs, particularly the hill from miles 21-23 (though to be fair, the last three miles were downhill). Do not expect a PR. The water stops are also really spread out, but you're given small bottles to carry. I think there was only a single stop that distributed sports drinks (not counting the family that was distributing some on their lawn which was oh so appreciated)... would have liked to see more. In short Dingle is a marvelous place to visit and provides a rewarding marathon experience. Just make sure to save some energy for those second half hills. | |

 "Beautiful - but hilly!" (about: 2011)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Dingle Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 The Dingle Marathon is a fairly new one, so it is still small, with a mostly local, fun-run crowd. I expect it will get a lot bigger once the word gets out though! The course is simply spectacular, starting out by taking vertigo-inducing cliffside roads along the sea for about the first half, then turning inland through flattish pastures and over a nasty hill at around the 37k mark - after this, you get to cruise downhill to the finish. The race was generally well organized, although it could have used more water stations, especially ones with food or gels. The water stations also only had water, not sport drink. Also, the bibs were made of flimsy paper that disintegrated when exposed to sweat, so I had to run the last third of the race holding my bib in my hand. Since this is a rural course, don't expect hordes of spectators like you might see in a city (except, of course, for the cheering hordes at the beginning and end right in downtown Dingle!) And of course, pre- and post-race, you get to enjoy the town of Dingle, which is very charming and has lovely pubs, shops, and people! Since the Marathon is on a Saturday, there is a big party afterward at the school which is a bit of a hike from downtown, although unfortunately I fell asleep after dinner and missed it. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Dingle marathon for anyone looking to do a memorable 'destination' race- just don't expect to set a PB! |
