Cape Clear Island Races take place on the last Saturday in August, with a half marathon (including raceboat) and a 10km (open for age group 17 to 75).

The island is criss-crossed with a myriad of hiking trails, affording spectacular views of the islands of Roaringwater Bay, Fastnet Rock Lighthouse (only 6km west of the island), and stunning vistas eastwards, looking back to Sherkin Island and the mainland.  

We have taken these island trails, and a selection of rarely-used, Fuschia-infused island lanes to create a unique trail running experience in West Cork - The CAPE CLEAR ISLAND RACES - with both Half Marathon, and 10km distances to choose from. The ferryboat from Baltimore harbour to, and from Cape Clear Island is included in the adventure!

Provisional Start-times:   HALF MARATHON - 11:30am        10Km - 12:15pm

Half marathon runners will be on the first ferry at 9am and the 10km runners on the 10am ferry.
