15. Portumna Forest Marathon
Description
The Portumna Forest Marathon takes place on June 6, 2026, in the idyllic Portumna Forest Park in County Galway, Ireland. This running event features various distances – including 10 km, half marathon, marathon, and a 50 km ultra-distance – and attracts runners from all over Ireland and beyond. The course runs on a flat 5 km loop over paved forest paths and tarmac roads, making it appealing for both ambitious and recreational runners ([runningcalendar.ie](https://www.runningcalendar.ie/event/forest-marathon/?utm_source=openai)). The event has established itself since its first edition in 2010 and is now considered one of the most atmospheric ultra-running events in the country, as runners of different performance levels start together, motivate, and support each other ([aims-worldrunning.org](https://aims-worldrunning.org/articles/243-fruits-of-the-forest.html?utm_source=openai)).
In 2024, the Portumna Marathon was the smallest marathon in Ireland with only 62 participants, creating a particularly intimate atmosphere – ideal for SEO-optimized articles that focus on personal experiences, tranquility, and intense nature experiences ([marathon-coach.online](https://marathon-coach.online/average-marathon-times-in-ireland-in-2024/?utm_source=openai)). Registrations are done online through the official website (no lottery or starting place restrictions known), making access direct and straightforward ([forestmarathon.com](https://forestmarathon.com/enter-online/?utm_source=openai)).
The course is completely flat, resulting in minimal elevation gain – ideal for beginners or runners aiming for personal bests. The natural backdrop of spruce and pine forests, often lined with wildlife such as deer and squirrels, enhances the spiritual character of the run; particularly typical Irish short rain showers and rainbows contribute to the special atmosphere ([galwaytourism.ie](https://www.galwaytourism.ie/event/portumna-forest-marathon/?utm_source=openai)).
