Personal Bests

My personal best with Irish Running Tours was running a 10k in Galway last June. When it comes to running in Ireland, you tend to look only at big marathons. I wanted something different – to see a different side to Ireland. I got in contact with Paul and he suggested that I come to Galway and run there. It was ideal – beautiful and invigorating. It was food for the soul. Afterwards Paul showed me a place or two that I will be going back to for sure.

Irish Running Tours is a great way for runners of all abilities to experience Ireland. While organised road races are naturally quite limited in their offerings, Paul Fallon has designed these trips to bring you through some fantastic scenery and landscapes that are also off the beaten track. The competitive element is removed - you run at your lesiure - and Paul also ensures your 'apres running' activivites are well catered for. It's a dream trip for recreational runners and serious runners alike. Anybody who likes the idea of combining their favorite sport with a holiday in Ireland should not hesitate to sign up.

Myself and my husband love running but for a change wanted to do something that we could enjoy. I emailed Paul and told him what I was looking for. He took it from there. What impressed me most were the 'apres-run' activities. We were in Ireland for five days and ran three of the days at a nice leisurely pace. It gave us time to take it all in. Then each evening we met up for a meal and drink or two. Running, Ireland and some good nights… we will be going back soon hopefully.
