Mass Participation Sporting Events

Delivering international standard mass participation sporting events


Mass participation sporting events have never been as popular in Ireland. With Marathons, Half Marathons, Mini Marathons, Triathlons, Cycling races and 10k’s emerging throughout the Country; Ireland is awash with sporting events to suit every taste. However, the modern sports enthusiast demands, expects and deserves the highest standard of race management.

We have led the development of professionally managed running events over the last decade including our management and development of flagship sell-out events such as Dingle Marathon and Run Kilkee. Dingle Marathon was voted Marathon of the Year in 2019 with Dingle Half Marathon voted Half Marathon of the Year for four years in a row since 2015 in the Running in Ireland Race Awards.

The Dingle Marathon was created in 2009 and consists of a Half Marathon (13.1 miles) and a Full Marathon (26.2 miles) set on the spectacular Dingle peninsula. We have developed this event into an iconic international event which sells out in a matter of days and nearly a year in advance.

It has been voted Half Marathon of the Year for the last 4 years in a row and with over 20% of participants travelling from overseas; it’s easy to understand why Runner’s World Magazine has labelled it one of the “best marathons on the Earth”!

We exclusively manage Dingle Marathon and Run Kilkee in their entirety and we have also provided Event Management expertise to a range of Mass Participation Sporting Events over the years including:

Dublin Port Tunnel Run
Ring of Beara Cycle
Run Killarney
Quest Adventure Series
