The Castle Run Series - Lough Cutra Castle

Gort, Co Galway

Lough Cutra Castle, Gort, Co Galway,

Sat 23rd May 2020

Organiser's Description

The launch of the Castle Run Series brought stunning off-road half marathon and 10k runs to each of the iconic castles and event weekends in the Castle Triathlon Series. This will also be the first year to host a Full Marathon distance at Lough Cutra Castle.

This stunning and unique multi-terrain course will incorporate spectator friendly loops of beautiful countryside, the Castle lake, quaint local villages and of course Lough Cutra Castle itself.

Arguably the finest castle in the series, Lough Cutra provides a fitting backdrop for the curtain raiser of the 2020 Castle Run Series. This first race sets the scene for a competitive and fun series, hosted within the beautiful grounds and surrounding area of stunning South Galway.
