The 4th annual Kilkenny Half Marathon and 10 km will take place on the third sunday in September 2012. Starting in the heart of the city, the courses are great for athletes and spectators alike. Both races finish outside Kilkenny’s most impressive landmark, the Kilkenny Castle. It is worth mentioning that the Castle will be open to the public in September as will the 50 acres of parkland. For athletes bringing family along this is a lovely area to spend some time. Kilkenny Half Marathon course. After leaving the city the half marathon course ventures into the surrounding countryside before returning to the city for a fantastic finish on the parade. This is a one circuit course with no overlaps. This contributes to the appeal of the course and gives runners a better appreciation of this part of Kilkenny. The course is reasonably flat and lends itself to some quick times. Kilkenny 10 km course. The 10 km course stays within the city boundaries. There is a climb at about 1.5 km, but after that the course is reasonable and the last 5 km should be fast as it is nearly all flat or downhill. General information. Athletes who enter online will receive a special running fabric t-shirt with the event logo as well their goody bag. Water stations will be located along the course to help keep runners hydrated. Distance markers will be located along both courses. The events are also ideally timed for athletes planning to complete the Dublin marathon in late October. The Kilkenny half marathon & 10 km 2011 will be great fun for all. The routes are accurately measured (Jones counter) and marked. This in conjunction with the timing chips gives every entrant the confidence to aim for a genuine PB. Every finisher will receive the event medal and most importantly will leave with a smile.
