Westport Marathon

The Westport Marathon is one of the more visually striking spring race weekends in Ireland, giving runners the chance to race through the landscapes of County Mayo in an event that combines coastal scenery, small-town atmosphere, and multiple distance options in a single day.

Held in Westport, Ireland, and presented by the team behind Westport Sea2Summit, the event is built around three races: a full marathon, a half marathon, and a 10K. That structure makes it appealing not only to marathoners looking for a scenic long-distance challenge, but also to mixed groups of runners who want to share the same race-day experience at different distances.

The official race materials emphasize accessibility for a wide range of running backgrounds while making clear that the event is designed as a true running challenge rather than a walking festival.
