🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Tullamore Half Marathon 2026 – What a Finish! 🏅

A huge well done to all our club members who completed the Tullamore Half Marathon on Saturday, bringing the Offaly Endurance Race Series 2026 to a close! 👏

🌧️ The weather certainly didn’t make it easy, with wet and humid conditions throughout, but everyone dug deep and did absolutely brilliant. A fantastic effort from all! 💪

A massive thank you to Tullamore Harriers for another brilliantly organised event. With over 1,200 people racing, the organisation and service were amazing as always – and there was no shortage of food waiting at the finish! 👏🍰☕️

Well done also to all the Offaly athletics clubs who took part throughout the 2026 series. It’s been another great season of racing, competition across the county. 💚💛🤍

You may all be tired now… but sure, we may as well start training for 2027, eh? 😅🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Well done everyone and enjoy the well earned rest! 🏅👏
