With 12 weeks to go to the 18th April there is too

With 12 weeks to go to the 18th April there is too much uncertainty and too many restrictions that would have to be lifted for us to plan for the event to safely take place and for participants to fully commit to training plans, so we are disappointed to announce that the Connemarathon can not take place in 2021 due to the ongoing Covid situation worldwide.

All entries will be automatically transferred to 24th April 2022. However, there will also be a virtual option for those of you who want to continue with your training and focus on a target for this April. You will also be able to transfer your entry to 2023 or 2024.

Emails will be sent to all participants but for more info and FAQs please see www.connemarathon.com/2021-race-cancelled/

COVID UPDATE

Due to the current situation in Ireland we have suspended new entries for 18th April 2021. We will review this in a couple of weeks and update again at that time. If you already have an entry and would like to defer to 2022 please email chris@dolmensports.com.

Do you have an entry to the 2021 Connemarathon? Plans are underway for the event to take place on 18th April 2021 and we look forward to seeing you on the start lines in Connemara next year. However, we are aware that some of our international entrants and particularly those signed up for the ultra will be unsure about travelling or starting race-specific training. If you are in this position and would like to organise a deferral please email chris@dolmensports.com.

The new date is 27th September! We emailed all participants yesterday with info on what to do next. If the September date doesn't suit we are offering free deferrals to either 2021 or 2022, transfer of places to a friend for September or refunds. Hope to see you in September. New entries will be available for the new date in the next week. #connemarathon #keeptraining

Over the last few days it has become clear that it is no longer feasible to plan for the Connemarathon to take place on 19th April. We are as disappointed as you are that we will have to reschedule the race.

We have a preliminary date planned but there are still some final details to confirm before we can release this date. Please be patient as we work through these logistics. We hope to have the new date confirmed over the weekend and will provide information on deferrals and refunds at that time.

We understand that you will have questions and concerns but please note that we are unable to reply to individual queries at this time. A full statement will follow shortly.
