Ards Half Marathon

About this event

The Ards Half Marathon takes runners through the scenic landscapes of Greyabbey in Northern Ireland's Ards Peninsula. Set for late June, this road race offers a chance to explore the quieter corners of County Down, where rolling countryside meets coastal views. The route winds through an area known for its historic sites and rural charm, making it a pleasant escape from busier racing circuits. While the course details aren't widely publicized, runners can expect a proper half marathon challenge in a peaceful setting. It's worth noting this isn't typically aimed at first-timers, so some racing experience helps. The timing means mild weather and long daylight hours, perfect for a summer running adventure in one of Northern Ireland's most picturesque regions.
