The fourth Achill Half Marathon will take place on Saturday July 4. This year, proceeds from the race will be donated to Irish charities and Achill community-based organisations.
The 2009 marathon has been capped at 2,000 entrants, and it is expected to reach that figure within the next couple of weeks. A new feature of the race will be the use of electronic tagging for entrants, whose results will be posted almost immediately after the event.
Achill Tourism would like to hear from those interested in volunteering on 098 47353, or email [email protected] at your earliest convenience. All volunteers will be entered into a draw for a wide variety of valuable prizes and receive a lunch voucher redeemable at the Marathon village on the day of the race.
