Running photos on Flickr

The first running of the Sligo Marathon and Half Marathon 2012 took place on Saturday September 15th 2012 at 09:00 and 09:45 respectively. The Start/Finish arena, race check-in area, and other facilities were hosted in the Sligo Institute of Technology, Knocknarea Sports Arena. The organisers of the race purposely kept the field size in this race to a minimum as they wanted to estimate the size of the task of organising a marathon in the city. All told the race was well organised and a very good showing for a first attempt at organising a marathon. The race routes were around Lough Gill, with views of the Lake Isle of Innisfree, for the Full Marathon. The Half Marathon follows the Full Marathon until Parkes Castle, then heads up "Hill of the Squirrel" and loops back to the grounds of Sligo IT. All in all the routes were challenging with some steep hills in the full marathon and 'The Squirrel' in the Half. We have got a very nice set of photographs of the event here on this Flickr set.
