If you are sore after the run, make sure you head over to the guys at @nuasan__ who will be giving free massages at the finish line with their amazing CBD muscle gel.

You will also receive a sample of their body wipes after you cross the finish line so you can freshen up quickly. Nuasan will also be offering special Connemarathon prices on their natural skincare products designed for active lifestyles.

Ultras should try and stay at Peacockes Hotel: @maam_cross

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/

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.
