The Dingle Marathon follows a stunning full-loop starting and finishing in Dingle Town, traversing the scenic cliffs of Slea Head Drive on the Wild Atlantic Way. After passing through Dunquin, the route turns inland through Ballyferriter and Gallarus, featuring an entirely paved surface with frequent elevation changes. The course's greatest challenge is a notable, steep climb around mile 22, which is followed by a long descent and a final flat stretch back into the harbor.
