About Running in Laois on Verus
Verus covers 4 races in Laois: 2 half marathons, 1 10K and 1 5K. Each links through to its own page with entry details, the course, elevation where the organiser publishes it, and a pace calculator set to that distance.
Racing is sparse: the races Verus covers here fall in only 1 month of the year, September chief among them. Most runners based here will travel for anything outside that window.
The weekly running here is bigger than the race calendar implies: Laois has 1 parkrun, free and every Saturday. Where races are few, that is where most of the running community actually gathers.
If nothing here fits your dates, the fullest calendars Verus covers elsewhere are Dublin (43 races), Cork (31 races) and Galway (16 races).
