Lap Of The Gap- Enter for 2027 Forty-two kilometres of mountain road through Wicklow Mountains National Park. The only road marathon run inside the park is celebrating 10 successful years of achievements from many participants. Fifty-odd people did it first in May 2016. The race has grown every year since, on the penultimate Saturday of May, deliberately before the valley fills with summer visitors. In 2027 we run the tenth edition with around 750 runners across the two distances. Limited time offer now available for the full and the half marathon at https://lapofthegap.com/.
