The Aer Arann Islands Half Marathon 2025 takes place this weekend on Inis Mór - returning for its third year supporting patients in the Mater Public Hospital. Participants will touch down on Inis Mór, the largest of the spectacular Aran Islands, on the weekend of 11th - 13th April for an unforgettable experience with action, community and breath-taking scenery. The Half Marathon is a unique opportunity to take in the spectacular and scenic surroundings of Inis Mór and to soak up the atmosphere, ceol and culture that the island has to offer. This unique event is raising vital funds for the Mater Hospital Foundation, with proceeds going to support vital new equipment to support patients where it is needed most in the hospital. In the past two years, the Aer Arann Islands Half marathon has raised just under €220,000 to transform and improve patient care in the Mater, which provides expert, specialist treatment to more than 420,000 patients and their families from across Ireland each year.
Commenting on this year’s event, Mary Moorhead, Chief Executive of the Mater Hospital Foundation says, “We’re so excited to be heading back to Inis Mór for a third year of fun and friendship, as our marathoners come together for a unique experience, all while doing something really special for patients and their families in the Mater Hospital." She adds, “As always, we would like extend a heart-felt thank you to the Committee, volunteers and residents of Inis Mór for always making the event a truly magical occasion. Our sincere gratitude to Aer Arann Islands, whose continued commitment to the half marathon helps make it possible very year.”
