New route for the 2022 event
Following a review of the route at committee level, it's been decided the 2022 Marathon will both start AND finish in the City. It's hoped that this will add to the excitement for runners and spectators alike.
Des Whelan is Waterford Viking Marathon Chairperson and MD of WLR, the event's media partner. He said:
The 2022 Viking Marathon finishes in the city for the first time, and this will add greatly to the excitement and atmosphere for runners and spectators alike. Waterford is not only be the best place to live in Ireland but also a great place to run
The 2022 nominated charity partner for the Waterford Viking Marathon is Make- A – Wish, Ireland.
Details on registration, and all route information, is available on the Waterford Viking Marathon website.
