| Clare Keeley | Jan 26 2025, 11:15pm | Hi everyone, The Wicklow Way Half is on Saturday the 8th of March ’25 (6 weeks away). It is the first race of the Leinster Half-Marathon League. You will find the full list of races under IMRA Leagues for 2025 (3 to score). Last year was the first year of the Half Marathon League and it was a great success. Entries will open for the race in early February (TBC). I will post a reminder closer to the time and keep an eye on the Event page. Thank you so much to everyone who has already volunteered. We will need a Laptop operator and another First-Aid (if possible) along with a few more helpers. If you would like to shadow either of the roles just let me know. Happy training! Clare |
| Mick Hanney | Jan 27 2025, 9:19am | Hi Clare, I have added my name as laptop operator. I'll need a brief refresher from an experienced laptop guru, as its a year since I did it (which was the old scanner etc). Cheers, Mick |
| Clare Keeley | Jan 28 2025, 3:57pm | Thank you Mick and everyone else who has volunteered. I will be in touch with everyone in a few weeks. Clare |
| Clare Keeley | Feb 10 2025, 7:29am | Morning everyone. The Wicklow Way Half Marathon opens for sale this morning at 9am and will remain open for 3 weeks until Sunday 2nd March at 6pm.

Thanks a million to all the volunteers, email will go out to you all in the next week. And yes, the sausage rolls will be back this year!!! Clare |
| Elaine Casey | Feb 16 2025, 5:07pm | Hi, does anyone have a link to the plotaroute or similar for this route? Thanks |
| Clare Keeley | Feb 17 2025, 8:23pm | Hi Elaine, have a look at the maps and picture in Maps section, you will also find the start of the race location on the event page marked “at Pier Gates”. The Wicklow Way Half follows the exact Wicklow Way way marked trail north from here to Crone Woods car park barrier and turn back and follow exact way back. Myself and Deputy RD Orlaith hiked the route on Saturday and all the markets are in place and the route is as normal. I can get you a link. **Volunteers** thank you to everyone who has signed up, we have plenty now , please have a look at future races that may need volunteers. Please keep an eye on forum for any updates, you will hear from either myself or Orlaith. Clare |
| Orlaith Bourne | Feb 20 2025, 12:56pm | Hi Everyone, This is a reminder that The Wicklow Way half is still open for just over a week, and will be closing Strictly, on SUNDAY THE 2nd OF MARCH at 6pm. ONCE THIS RACE CLOSES, WE WILL NOT BE REOPENING THIS YEAR. There will be no transfers or refunds, and NO LATE ENTRIES. Please refer to the event page for all details relating to this race. We would like to remind everyone there will be no early start, with a generous cut off at Crone. If you are thinking of signing up for The Wicklow Way Half, it would help us greatly if you did so sooner rather than later so we can prepare for numbers. We are very excited to see you all on March The 8th for what is looking to be another exceptional year on The Wicklow Way, Many thanks, Orlaith & Clare |
| Elaine Casey | Feb 20 2025, 8:37pm | thanks Clare, I think I've managed to map it on google, going to check out the route before committing to signing up and I've never had to navigate a whole run myself before :) |
| Clare Keeley | Yesterday, 7:11pm | Hi Everyone, With 324 runners currently booked into the race, can we please please encourage everyone to share lifts, also highlighting the brilliant Carpool facility at the bottom of the Event page or runners are welcome to post on the forum here if they are looking for lifts to and from the race or public transport. We have the far end of the car park at Pier Gates, that doesn't mean we have to fill it to the brim!! Car parking fees apply as per Event page. There are currently NO Carpool offers up and a whole crowd of you planning to run!! Clare and Orlaith. |
| Clare Keeley | Yesterday, 9:11pm | Thank you Seb for getting the ball rolling with the Carpooling! |
