Three running events to take place in Tarmonbarry this Sunday

Runners will descend on Tarmonbarry this Sunday, October 4 for three separate road-running events.

The Tarmonbarry 8K, Half Marathon and Three-Quarter Marathon will all take place on Sunday, offering distances to suit runners preparing for autumn races as well as those looking for a shorter challenge.

The three-quarter marathon covers approximately 31.6 kilometres and is particularly suited to runners in the final stages of preparation for a full marathon.

A 21.1km half-marathon will also be held, while the 8km event provides a shorter option.

The events add to a busy autumn calendar of running and outdoor events taking place across the Roscommon and wider Midlands region.

Participants and motorists travelling through the Tarmonbarry area on Sunday are advised to be conscious of increased activity associated with the events.
