The Ratoath AC Half Marathon 2026 is set to take place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 9:00 AM. This exciting event will kick off at the Fairyhouse Racecourse, offering participants a fast and flat course designed to help runners achieve personal bests (PBs). The race will conclude in front of the iconic Fairyhouse Grandstand, making it a memorable experience for all involved.
Participants can look forward to a well-organized event, with a strict finish cut-off time of three hours to ensure the safety of all road users and stewards. Runners who find themselves significantly behind the pace may be asked to take a lift from the race organizers to mile 11, allowing them to complete the final two miles to the finish line. Spectators are encouraged to attend, but it is important to note that dogs are not permitted on the grounds of Fairyhouse, including the car park.
All entrants will receive medals, and to minimize waste, t-shirts will be available as an optional extra for €15.95, including postage. The event promises to be a fantastic opportunity for runners to prepare for autumn marathons and boost their confidence in a supportive environment.
