Despite the recent bad weather the City and County has seen an increase in runners taking to the roads of late which is a sign that training is well underway for this year's WLRfm Waterford Viking Marathon which will take place on Saturday 28th June.

For 2014 a new and improved route has been introduced making the course even flatter and faster and, with a unique Quarter Marathon option, measuring in at 6.5 miles or 10.5Km, there is something for all levels this year. Training is well underway and we would encourage new budding runners to join one of the many free training sessions which are taking part across the city and county to help get you on the right course for June.

Every weekend up to 60 people meet at Suqerquinn car park on the Cork road on both Saturday and Sunday for a weekly session. To register or for more information on training sessions click on to WaterfordVikingMarathon.com
