Participants in the 2022 Donegal Half Marathon will receive a medal with a raised image of the cliffs of Sliabh Liag as its centrepiece.
Last year, the organisers of the Donegal Half Marathon and Fáilte Ireland came together to promote the Wild Atlantic Way and selected Fanad Lighthouse as the discovery point to highlight.
Joan Crawford, Manager of the Wild Atlantic Way, said that the Donegal Half Marathon is the perfect platform to showcase the county.
“The Donegal Half Marathon is a great local event and assists us in promoting Donegal,” she said.
“There are a total of 39 discovery points along the Wild Atlantic Way in Donegal and the focus this year is on Sliabh Liag, which is one of our most iconic signature points along the Wild Atlantic Way.”
The organising committee has opted for a green-coloured technical t-shirt for those who participate in the event, which takes place on Sunday the 28th of August in Letterkenny.
Danny McDaid, Donegal Half Marathon ambassador, said linking up with Fáilte Ireland is helping the profile of the event.
“We’re delighted to be teaming up again with Fáilte Ireland and we are looking forward to holding what will be the ninth Donegal Half Marathon,” he said.
“Entries are coming in at a steady rate and we are confident in attracting another large field again next month.”
The 2022 Donegal Half Marathon starts at 9.20am on the 28th of August and will be sponsored by the Kernan’s Retail Group, with support from Donegal County Council, Optum, Donegal Sports Partnership and Donegal Volunteer Centre.
