Half on the Head - Kerryhead Half Marathon & 10k Run

About this event

The Half on the Head takes runners on a beautiful loop around Kerryhead, with the Wild Atlantic Way providing a dramatic backdrop throughout. Starting from Ballyheigue Village, the route offers sweeping views across the Shannon Estuary, Kerry's rugged coastline, and landmarks like Mount Brandon and the Maherees. The course has character — gradual climbs give way to rolling sections before a steeper descent brings runners back to the village. Both the half marathon and 10k distances follow this scenic coastal and rural route, making it a lovely way to explore this unspoiled corner of Kerry. The mix of terrain and ever-changing views keeps things interesting from start to finish.
