You will find everything you need to know on this website but here are some FAQs…
Where do I get my number?
All race numbers will be posted (worldwide) for the 2026 race. Please make sure to include your full address when you register and inform us if your address changes.
Where do I get my number?
All participants must fill out a short form to confirm their place and to book their bus seat. This will help us plan the bus schedule.
What time does the race start?
There are different start times depending on the distance. The ultra marathon runners are off first at 9am, with the full marathon and half marathon starting at 11am.
How do I get spectator bus tickets?
Spectator buses pick up in Galway, Oughterard and Clifden and go to the finish area at Maam Cross in plenty of time for all race finishes. Bus tickets are available online and must be purchased in advance.
Suncream or umbrellas?
The weather in Connemara is very unpredictable. Over the years this race has been run in glorious sunshine and harsh bitterly cold conditions (remember 2016!). Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Any other questions?
Wondering about pacers, showers, course profiles, t-shirts, medals, deferrals, accommodation, water stations, switching distance, merchandise… You’ll find all the answers on this website!
