The 2026 Donegal Half Marathon is close to reaching 1,000 entries, with organisers reporting registrations are on track to exceed that level for the second year in a row. Highland Radio reports that the race is held in and around Letterkenny and that the event drew 1,125 participants in 2025. With more than three weeks remaining before the 2026 race, race director Brendan McDaid says registration numbers are approaching 1,000. Both sources frame the upcoming edition as a continuation of recent participation trends, suggesting sustained interest in the road race. The reporting also indicates that the event’s scale in 2025 sets a benchmark for this year’s target, while current figures leave the final total subject to further sign-ups before the closing period. The articles do not add details on the date, route changes, or prize information, but they collectively focus on entry numbers and the organiser’s outlook as the event nears.
