St Patrick’s Day has come and gone, the crowds have thinned out, and the legs are either fresh or still carrying the damage from a long weekend. Either way, the calendar doesn’t wait around.
It’s that time of the week again where we take a look at the races coming up across the country, focusing on events you can still get into for this weekend, Saturday March 21st and Sunday March 22nd.
From quick-fire 5Ks to longer road races and IMRA trails, there’s a decent spread across Leinster, Munster and Connacht. If you’re looking to get a run in without too much planning, there’s still time to make it happen.
Below is a quick look at what is happening across the provinces.

That’s the current snapshot for the weekend, but as always, races pop up late or slip under the radar.
If your race is not listed above, send it on. Email [email protected] and we will add it to both our race calendar and this article.
If nothing there catches your eye, there’s always next weekend. But if it does, stop overthinking it and get yourself on the start line.
