Starting in Pery Square, runners travel through the city’s vibrant streets and out toward the suburbs, with Relay teams of 2 or 4 joining the excitement and exchanging batons at key transition points along the course.
A memorable section leads through the University of Limerick and its impressive sports facilities. Along the way, landmarks like Thomond Stadium add to the atmosphere, while enthusiastic spectators create an uplifting, supportive vibe.
The final stretch returns to the city centre, where O’Connell Street welcomes you with cheering crowds and an unforgettable finish line celebration, marking a shared achievement for individuals and relay teams alike.
