Runners will begin their full, half and quarter marathon at 9am on June 25th from The Mall in Waterford City Centre, before they travel along Waterford’s two iconic bridges and the stunning Waterford Greenway.

Walkers and wheelchair users will commence from the mall at 8.30am.

Live bands and DJs will keep both runners and spectators entertained along the route and we are delighted that several of the Guide Dogs for the Blind will be with their trainers and take part in the quarter marathon.

The finish line again this year is in Grattan Quay and promises to be great fun for all the family .
