The flatline is back

Following on from the great success you all made last years race we're back again in 2013 on the same weekend - Saturday, 14 September 2013. Registration is now open on the runireland website

The AAI certified route remains the same as last year, starting at St. Aloysius college and will take you along the banks of the river Shannon out to Clonown before you turn and return in the Ballinasloe road back to Athlone. Take a look at the course. With a total elevation gain of just 79 metres it’s the flattest half marathon around that’s why we called it the “Flatline”. If your looking to achieve a Personal Best time then this is the race for you.
