Athy Prepares to welcome runners for Run Athy 2025 at Emily Square

ATHY Town Promoters are eagerly gearing up to welcome runners to Emily Square for RunAthy 2025, set to take place on Sunday, August 17. The popular event is expected to draw a large crowd once again, with runners from across the region and beyond lining up to take part.

This year’s edition promises something for everyone, with three race distances available: the half marathon, the 10km, and a brand-new 5km race introduced for 2025.

Runners are encouraged to act fast, as entry prices will increase on August 1.

With just over four weeks to go before the price hike, early registration is recommended to secure a spot and save on fees.

In addition to the competitive races and festive atmosphere, there are exciting incentives for early entries. Anyone who registers before August 10 will be automatically entered into a draw to win back their entry fee and receive a surprise gift on race day.

All race entries include a custom medal, multi-use buff, timing chip, water stations, and post-race refreshments.

Organisers have warned that places may sell out before the deadline, so get in soon before they’re all gone.
