Races You Can Still Enter This Weekend Ending November 1st

Halloween weekend brings another selection of races across Ireland, with 5Ks, 10Ks, cross country, forest trails and even a six hour endurance challenge on the calendar.

From the Coppenagh Coo in Carlow to the woodland trails of Lough Key and the Run Forest Run series in Belfast, there are still opportunities to get a race in before November gets properly underway.

Here are the races taking place from October 30th to November 1st, with entry links listed by province.

There is a good mix of distances and terrain this weekend, from flat road races to woodland trails and longer endurance events. With Halloween falling on Saturday, there is even an excuse to turn up in fancy dress.

Some entries are closing shortly, while others offer registration on race day. Check the organiser's entry page before travelling and get your place sorted in time.

Best of luck to everyone taking part.
