For anyone looking for another Event or Adventure, Excel Sports are running an Adventure Race in Falcarragh, Co. Donegal at the end of October. Early bird rates apply till 30 Sept.

Following negotiations with management at Oakfield Park, we can now confirm ALL spectators will have FREE access to the finish line of the East Donegal Half Marathon. We would like to take this opportunity to thank both competitors and supporters for all the constructive feedback and apologise for any confusion caused. Excel Sports will cover the additional charges. It should be noted, however, that any spectators wishing to gain full access to the park, when it opens at 12 noon after the race, can do so by paying the normal admission price. Competitors' family passes will be valid all day. Again, we would like to thank all competitors and their supporters for their feedback and, of course, to the management of Oakfield Park for facilitating the new arrangement.
