About this race
The Annaghmore Running Festival 18 Mile is the flagship distance of the annual multi-race event organised from Annaghmore Community Hall in County Armagh, taking place on Saturday 26 September 2026 at 10am. The course runs on roads in and around Annaghmore and the surrounding mid-Armagh countryside, offering a substantial challenge suited to marathon-build training. The 18-mile distance is particularly popular with runners preparing for the Dublin Marathon, typically held two to three weeks later. The course is largely flat to gently undulating, in keeping with the agricultural landscape of mid-Armagh. Chip timed and Athletics NI permitted, the event is well-established in the Ulster running calendar and draws strong fields from clubs across Northern Ireland and the Republic.
