Despite the best efforts of all involved, unfortunately it is not possible to go ahead with the in-person event in Longford this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we've made the decision to go virtual.

We are pleased to announce that the 2021 Virtual Abbott Longford Marathon will take place between Sunday 29th August and Thursday 30th September 2021. Participants can take part in a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon or 39.3-mile Ultra Marathon and complete the distance at a time and location of their choosing between those dates. This should be completed on one single run as it would be on a typical race day.

Entry in any distance will cost 15 euro, and all runners will receive a specially commissioned 2021 finishers medal by post.

The virtual event will help to raise vital funds for our charity partners, St. Christopher's Services in Longford, at a time when funding for their services is most needed.

We look forward to 2022 with hope and optimism and are planning for the Abbott Longford Marathon at the end of August. We hope to see you all soon. In the meantime, keep safe, keep running and enjoy the 2021 Virtual Abbott Longford Marathon.
