The Village Run 10k 2026

The Village Run 10k is held in the village of Ballylinan, Co. Laois, and forms part of a multi-distance running festival organised by Ballylinan GAA in partnership with Pop Up Races. The chip-timed course starts and finishes at Ballylinan GAA Club and follows a flat, fast loop through the rural roads around the village. The course is widely praised as an excellent PB course and is used by many runners as a warm-up or benchmark ahead of the Dublin Marathon. It is open to runners and walkers of all abilities. Registration takes place at Ballylinan GFC from 8:30am. Cash prizes are awarded to the top three male and female finishers in each distance, with medals for all who complete the course.
