Lap of the Gap COVID-19 update

We are sad and disheartened to announce the Glendalough Lap of the Gap Marathon will not be taking place on 23^rd of May as planned following concerns over our organisation’s ability to plan and execute a safe high-quality event – even if the current situation should be lifted in time for the event to legally go ahead.

We had looked forward to celebrating our 5^th anniversary with you but feel this decision is in the best interest of our entrants, crew, suppliers, and public safety.

All entries will be deferred to the rescheduled 22nd of May 2021. Postponement to later in 2020 was sadly not an option as Athletics Ireland is not currently issuing new road race permits for the second half of the year. We feel it is not possible to continue to plan for this year’s event in such circumstances and will instead pull out all the stops for you to make 2021 our best event yet.
