The Run Galway Bay Marathon starts and finishes at the historic Nimmo's Pier in the Claddagh, serving as the centerpiece of this coastal festival of running. The multi-lap course leads participants along the closed roads of Salthill and the famous promenade, passing through the heart of the village and out towards Blackrock. Runners will experience a completely flat and fast asphalt terrain, perfect for maintaining a steady pace while enjoying views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Clare mountains. This scenic route through local landmarks offers a high-energy, spectator-friendly atmosphere as participants complete the loops to reach the finish line.
