15. Great Limerick Run Marathon
Description
The Regeneron Great Limerick Run takes place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, in the city of Limerick, Ireland – a diverse running event featuring a marathon, half marathon, 6-mile run, marathon relay, and a children's run the day before. The marathon route runs through the heart of the city – from Pery Square through neighborhoods, along the Shannon, and through the university campus to O’Connell Street – with a total of moderate 196 meters of elevation gain ([eventmaster.ie](https://eventmaster.ie/event/16zohwDHeM/pM76tDdcX?utm_source=openai)).
The event is a massive festival for mass runners and, according to the organizers, the largest running event outside of Dublin – with over 16,000 registered participants in 2025 ([greatlimerickrun.com](https://greatlimerickrun.com/?utm_source=openai)). Specifically, in the marathon, an impressive 1,554 runners crossed the finish line in 2025, representing a growth of around 34% compared to 2024 ([munsterrunning.blogspot.com](https://munsterrunning.blogspot.com/2025/05/big-jump-in-numbers-for-2025-limerick.html?utm_source=openai)).
The history of the Great Limerick Run dates back to the early 2000s, having developed over the years into the region's premier running event, attracting an increasing number of international participants as well as young and young-at-heart active individuals. In 2025, an impact report from the city administration stated that 49% of respondents indicated that participating in the Run motivated them to engage in regular physical activity ([running.life](https://running.life/en/event/great-limerick-run?utm_source=openai)).
Weather-wise, early May often offers ideal running conditions: mild, slightly cloudy – well-suited for long-distance runs ([sub3-marathon.com](https://www.sub3-marathon.com/great-limerick-run/?utm_source=openai)).
For registration: The early bird price for the marathon is approximately €69.50; a marathon relay is also possible, as well as the half marathon (€57) and 6-mile run (€29) ([eventmaster.ie](https://eventmaster.ie/event/16zohwDHeM/pM76tDdcX?utm_source=openai)). A lottery is not planned – participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. The route runs on roads, mostly flat to slightly undulating – the marathon has about 196 m of elevation change, while the half marathon has about 94 m over 21.1 km ([greatlimerickrun.com](https://greatlimerickrun.com/the-races/half-marathon/?utm_source=openai)).
