The Waterford Viking Marathon is back for its 14th year on June 20th & 21st, 2026 — for it’s biggest and boldest yet!

Join thousands of runners in Ireland’s oldest city, where Viking history meets stunning scenery for a race like no other. Whether you're tackling the Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, Children’s Fun Run, or our Disability-Friendly Run, this is more than just a running event — it’s a full-on festival of running!

Can’t join us in person? No problem! Run virtually anytime from June 20–23, and we’ll still send you your finisher medal and t-shirt — no matter where in the world you are!

When you register, you'll have the opportunity to make a difference by raising funds for our 2026 charity partner the RNLI, or another charity that holds a special place in your heart.

Whether it's a cause close to you or a local community group you're part of, your support makes a meaningful impact.

Every participant will receive a top quality finisher t-shirt and one of our famous Waterford Viking Marathon Medals. This is a race event not to miss.
