This year an all-star cast of 6 well-known Galway personalities will undertake a 16-week fitness programme by a team of experts in preparation for the half marathon. The team of 6 will each be following the advice of Tina Martin, Club Manager of NRG Fitness in Galway as well as taking on board dietary tips to have them in tip-top shape for race day.

Each member is keeping a diary of their training and race preparation which you can read about each week in the Galway Advertiser and online.

Last year’s event was a great success as over 1,200 athletes, runners, walkers and strollers took to the roads along the coast for the first Elvery’s Sports Galway Bay Half Marathon. 

The Half Marathon was won by Lebette Debele from Limerick in a time of 1 hour 14 minutes. Originally from Ethopia but now a Limerick man Lebette was delighted with his first prize.
