    Connemara looks good, but €70 is expensive enough

    Marathon Club Ireland have a fairly comprehensive list on their website of Irish ones. Their own ones aren’t expensive to enter.

    Yes, or at least it was chip timed last year.
    If you're on facbook, here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/events/367152350381705/

    I did the ultra there last year. It was well organised and very friendly but running up one side of the canal and back the other side, 8 times for the marathon, 10 times for the ultra, did get a bit old after a while to be honest. It made for a very social race though, as you were always near other runners no matter what pace. you were doing

    Paris on 7th April. I booked flights for 35€ return, Airbnb for 70€ for 2 nights. Race itself is now €100, still great value if your looking internationally ðŸ‘
