The Longford Half Marathon follows a flat, single-loop course that begins with a one-mile circuit of the town before heading out onto the N5 Strokestown Road. The route then transitions onto quiet rural roads, passing local farmyards and houses, before returning to the town center via the Battery Road. Starting and finishing on Main Street near the Longford Arms Hotel, the entirely paved path provides a straightforward and scenic journey through the heart of the midlands.
