Four Sundays. Four Clare towns. One distance further every month.

HOW THE SERIES WORKS

One step further every month.

01

A distance a month

5K in January, 5 miles in February, 10K in March, 10 miles in April. Each race asks a little more than the last, and never too much at once.

02

Four results

Chip timing at every race, so you can see in black and white how far you have come since January.

03

Four Clare towns

Sixmilebridge, Quin, Ennis and Lisdoonvarna. A new start line every month, all in your own county.

WHO IT’S FOR

Which runner are you this year?

The returning runner

You have run before and you want the routine back. Four dates from January to April give every week of training a purpose.

The first 10 miler

You can do a 5K. You have wondered about 10 miles. This series takes you there one step at a time: 5K, 5 miles, 10K, then 10 miles.

The PB chaser

Four chip timed races across the spring. Four chances to put your training to the test and see where your form is.

The Clare runner

Four towns, one county. Race on roads you know, alongside the people you see out running them all year.

WHY A SERIES

One race is a morning.
A series is a season.

A single race

  • One date to train for, then the motivation drops off
  • One distance, with no next step
  • One result, with nothing to compare it to

The Run Clare Series

  • A new distance to train for every month
  • A clear path from 5K to 10 miles
  • Four chip times that show your progress
  • Four Clare towns, all for €90

BEFORE YOU ENTER

I have never run 10 miles. Can I do this?

That is exactly how the series is built. Each race steps up the distance: 5K, then 5 miles, then 10K, then 10 miles. By April you will have three races and three months of training behind you.

How much is the full series?

€90 for all four races, which works out at €22.50 a race before booking fees.

Can I enter just one race?

Yes, every race can be entered on its own. But the series is built to be run as one: four distances, four results and a clear path to 10 miles. If you can make all four Sundays, the full series entry is the way to do it.

Where are the races held?

Sixmilebridge in January, Quin in February, Ennis in March and Lisdoonvarna in April. Full start, finish and parking details will be sent to entrants ahead of each race.

What time do the races start?

The Sixmilebridge 5K and the Ennis 10K start at 9:00 AM. Start times for the Quin 5 Mile and the Lisdoonvarna 10 Mile will be confirmed soon.

What are the courses like?

All four routes will be revealed soon. Keep an eye on this page and our socials for maps and course details.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are not available, but you are never stuck. You can defer your entry to another race or transfer it to another runner.

Who organises the series?

Run Clare has been bringing runners together across the county since 2014 and is now organised by JustRace Events.

QUESTIONS RUNNERS ASK.

24th of January is

Four races, four distances, €90. Put the dates in the diary and give April's 10 miles a three month head start.
