Waterford’s Biggest Viking Marathon Yet

Waterford is set to host its biggest Viking Marathon yet, with over 5,200 runners expected to take part in this year’s record-breaking event—the 14th edition and one of Ireland’s most atmospheric running festivals. The epic route follows the River Suir, the Greenway, and through Mount Congreve Gardens, kicking off with Mayor Séamus Ryan and Everest-climber Adam Sweeney. Events include the full marathon, half marathon, and 10K, all starting on The Mall at 9 AM. Beyond the big races, the popular relay and the inclusive “Run for All” for autism and additional needs are back. With tickets sold out and the city buzzing with family-friendly activities, this is a celebration of community, heritage, and endurance—thanks to volunteers, sponsors, and the people of Waterford who’ve made it all possible.
