Dear Runner,

Welcome to the fourteenth Achill Half Marathon – we hope your Achill Experience is a memorable one! This day would not be possible without the help, unfailing enthusiasm, and encouragement our volunteers give to our runners at water stations and out along the course.

This year we are delighted to go "Green"; we are removing 12500 single use plastic water bottles from the race and replacing them with reusable cups, which will be offered To runners at water stations. We are aiming to reduce the use of plastic where possible.

We wish you success on your journey around our course today. Whether you’re aiming for a new personal best or planning to stroll from startto finish, we’re delighted you’ve taken on the challenge and we’ll be right behind you every step of the way!

Go n-éirí go geal libh go léir,Pauric CorriganRace Director

FÁILTE GO hACHILL - WELCOME

WEAR YOUR BIB PROPERLY

A word of Thanks:For the last fourteen years the Achill Half Marathon has gone from strength to strength and, with the fourteenth instalment now upon us, we are confident that all will run smoothly today. The marathon, however, does not just ‘happen’; a huge amount of effort, energy and hard work goes in for months in advance to ensure that both participants andvisitors alike have a memorable experience here on Achill Island. It is important to acknowledge the significant contribution of the many people who have made this day possible; they are - the staff of Achill Tourism, who have worked numerous late evenings, early mornings and weekends; the marathon sub-committee that has organised this year’s event; the board members of Corrymore Promotions.

We would like to express a special word of thanks to our most generous sponsors including Volvo, Solar 21, The Mulranny Park Hotel; Ostán Oileán Acla; Mayo County Council; Water & Communities Officer for Mayo & North Roscommon; Sweeneys SuperValu Achill, The Mayo News, Mid-West Radio; We owe a great debt of gratitude to the following groups, our 200+ volunteers who will be doing untold work behind the scenes today; the local Gardaí, especially Sgt Brian Murphy; the Civil Defence; our local doctors; the landowners, and last but by no means least, the people of Achill for their warmth, generosity and support for the event.

To each and every one of you, go raibh míle maith agaibh.
