Barretstown Half Marathon 2026

The Barrettstown Half Marathon is proudly organised by Naas Athletic Club, bringing together runners, volunteers, sponsors, and the local community for a memorable day of sport and fundraising. We welcome participants of all abilities to enjoy a professionally organised event while supporting the incredible work of Barrettstown, which provides life-changing camps and programmes for children living with serious illness and their families. Every runner, volunteer, and supporter plays a vital role in making a positive difference. Thank you for joining us and helping to turn every mile into hope.  

Barretstown is delighted to announce its inaugural Half Marathon on Sunday, 6th September, starting and finishing at Naas Racecourse. Test your fitness and chase a new PB on a fast, scenic route. This certified half marathon offers a perfect opportunity to gauge your progress and pacing – all while supporting children affected by cancer and other serious illnesses.

The route will take participants towards Kill, past Kerdiffstown Park, through Sallins and along the canal, before returning via Main Street from the Harbour, to finish back at Naas Racecourse.
