Parkrun Limerick
As with all our articles, we’re happy to point people towards local parkrun. Limerick’s edition is no different. Each week, they get on average of 100 runners making it an intimate, yet fun event. While records are hard to come by, the female record was set back in 2016 by Niamh de Hóra at 18:57. Oisin Spillane has set the male record at 15:22 in 2022.
The course itself is run on a mixture of tarmac paths and gravel paths. The run directors will detail the course on the morning of the parkrun, but it is 4 loops taking on a mixture of surfaces. For more information, check out their page on the Limerick Parkrun website HERE
The event takes place at The Boat House, University of Limerick, Limerick, V94 Y8X4. See Course page for more details.
What does it cost to join in?
Nothing – it’s free! but please register before your first run. Only ever register with parkrun once. Don’t forget to bring a printed copy of your barcode (request a reminder). If you forget it, you won’t get a time.
