(1)About Running in Donegal on Verus
Donegal has one of the broader calendars Verus covers: 8 races spanning 6 distances, from 2 10Ks, 2 marathons, 1 half marathon, 1 5K, 1 ultra marathon and 1 race at another distance. A county with that range is one you can train a whole year in without leaving.
The calendar is concentrated rather than continuous: 4 months of the year have something on, and September is the busiest. Worth knowing if you are planning a build — the racing here comes in clusters, so a goal race and a tune-up are not always the sensible distance apart.
Alongside the races, Donegal has 7 parkruns — free, weekly, and the way a lot of people here got started.
If nothing here fits your dates, the fullest calendars Verus covers elsewhere are Dublin (43 races), Cork (31 races) and Galway (16 races).

Smaller local races we've indexed but not written a full guide for. We link straight to the organiser rather than keeping you here — there's nothing we could tell you about these that they don't tell you better.
