"The March of the Vikings" is a 10 Mile road race from Vicarstown to Timahoe. Follow the route the Vikings most likely took, from the Viking fort in Dunrally to Timahoe. This challenging route will be a great healthy way to start the festivities. A 5km route had also been added in the local environs of Timahoe. Both these races can be booked on the following link.
In the year 919 it is recorded that the Vikings from Dunrally Fort in Vicarstown raided the Monastic settlement in Timahoe Co Laois. Follow this 10 mile route to retrace the path taking by these Nordic Invaders who plundered the peaceful Christian settlement in Timahoe. This year we celebrate the 1100th anniversary of this event. The run will go through the scenic part of Co Laois through Stradbally and onwards to Timahoe.
