Route Information
The Wexford Half Marathon & 10K offers a scenic and varied route that captures the very best of the southeast coast. The race begins along the picturesque Quays of Wexford Town, winds through the peaceful countryside, and finishes at the historic Faythe, offering a mix of town, rural, and coastal views that will keep every kilometre fresh and motivating.
The 10K is ideal for runners of all abilities, while the Half Marathon extends further into the countryside before looping back towards town for a lively, crowd-filled finish. With friendly marshals, smooth organisation, and plenty of local support, it’s a route you’ll remember long after race day.
