Galway City Harriers are delighted to announce that the 37th edition of the Streets of Galway 8k road race will take place Saturday 12th August at 7pm, sponsored by Blackrock Health Galway Clinic.

GCH will once again host the famous Blackrock Health Galway Clinic Streets of Galway 8k race in the City of The Tribes.

Since its inception in 1986 the event has grown into one of the most prestigious road races in the country, yet remains true to its original motto of Sport for All, as many locals and visitors take on the event year in year out. The event will bring thousands of participants onto the streets of our city and suburbs into what is a fantastic event for the city.

This event is the jewel in the crown of road races in the West and tours through the famous City of the Tribes. The race route takes in many of the sights of Galway city, including the Spanish Arch, Eyre Square, the landmark Galway Cathedral and the University of Galway, and routes out towards Salthill, past Pearse Stadium and then back in the ‘Prom’ along Galway Bay.

Entry is now open, and includes a superb technical t-shirt, refreshments and a great evening of running through the city for one night only!
