Expected December 2027
Distance
Terrain
The Glanageenty Trail takes place on Saturday 5 December 2026 at Glanageenty in County Kerry, Ireland, and offers runners a choice of three distances: a half marathon, a 10 km and a 5 km. All of the routes are run off-road on trail terrain rather than on tarmac, so the day is spent on paths and tracks with the usual winter underfoot conditions of mud, leaf litter and roots. The event is listed through the Irish Mountain Running Association, which publishes the confirmed start times, entry details and any mandatory kit for the day on its own event page. Runners should treat the organisers' page as the authoritative source, since the listed distances and schedule can still change before race day.

Other questions
Membership and entry conditions are set by the Irish Mountain Running Association and can vary between fixtures. Check the event page on the IMRA website to see whether a one-day membership, an annual membership or a plain entry fee applies to this race.
Off-road races organised under the Irish Mountain Running Association banner are normally marked and marshalled, but the marking details for the Glanageenty Trail are confirmed by the organiser. Check the event page if you are unfamiliar with the area.
Glanageenty is in County Kerry in the south west of Ireland. The nearest substantial towns are Tralee and Killarney, both of which have rail and bus connections, and the venue is then reached by road, so most runners travel by car.
Early December in County Kerry is typically wet, windy and mild to cold, with soft and often muddy ground underfoot. Expect a trail race rather than a road race, and plan for low light and damp conditions.
