Description
The Rosscarbery Surf Turf 'n' Tar Half Marathon is a multi-terrain race taking in road, beach, forest and trail running across Rosscarbery and the West Cork coastline. Starting first at 9am ahead of the 10k, the course sweeps through the Castlefreke Estate, runs along Owenahincha beach, traverses the Cliff Walk, crosses Warren Strand, and finishes on Pier Road beside the Celtic Ross Hotel race HQ. The route is scenic and undulating, with ever-changing terrain underfoot throughout. The eighth edition of the event takes place on 25 April 2026, organised by Rosscarbery Business Association in conjunction with Rosscarbery Steam Runners AC, with all proceeds supporting community initiatives in the Rosscarbery area. Entry is €45 and places are capped at 1,000 across both distances.
