Hi All Just wondering if anyone has done this before? Or planning on doing it this year? It's a cow themed marathon up in Donegal...end of Sept I think.

Think Aimman has done it. Know very little about it other than the organisers are notorious for staging poor or at least highly criticised races. Think this one seems to be a bit better than other ones though.

Its a marathon tacked onto a fairly well run half, number are meant to be very small.

Done the half last year. A tough but scenic course. First half is uphill with some fairly tough climbs till you hit the highest point at Lough Salt and it is downhill from their to finish.

The full marathon then does a loop around the Downings, from talking to some of the finishers it's fairly tough. The numbers weren't great last year, they had registered around 30. I had no complaints about the organisation.
