Celebrating its 25th edition, the Abbott Longford Marathon 2025 is set for August 24, 2025, and invites runners of all levels to experience one of Ireland’s most welcoming race weekends. Participants can choose from five events: a 5 km fun run, Half Marathon, Full Marathon, Marathon Relay, or the challenging 63.4 km Ultra Marathon. The course is renowned for being flat and scenic, taking runners through three counties—Longford, Roscommon, and Leitrim—with minimal elevation and excellent support along the way. Known as “The Friendly Marathon in the Heart of Ireland,” the event features community-led organization, chip timing, regular aid stations every 3 miles, and a supportive crowd. With its warm local hospitality and rural charm, it’s a perfect destination for both personal bests and first-time finishers.
