Following on from the success of the Mourne Way Marathon we are pleased to announce another unique event to Northern Ireland – The Causeway Coast Marathon - www.causewaycoastmarathon.com. The event date is Saturday 10 October 2009.
The Marathon will be an “out and back” route, almost entirely off road and will follow the paths, tracks, beaches and coastline of the Causeway Coast Way, between Portballintrae and Ballintoy Harbour. It will pass The Giants Causeway, Dunseverick Castle and Harbour, White Park Bay, Ballintoy Harbour before turning at the quaint Harbour and returning along the same route. The scenery on the outward and homeward legs of the event is truly spectacular and this marathon will undoubtly be one of the most scenic in the UK or Ireland.
In addition to the Marathon there will also be a Half Marathon and a 10k run/walk incorporated into the route – these races, like the Marathon, will also finish in Portballintrae. There will also be a “Challenge Walk” on the day along the same route of the Causeway Coast Marathon.The route will be fully waymarked.
