Rock the Lough 5k,10k and Half Marathon 2026

Held in South Lake Leisure Centre, Craigavon, Co. Armagh. St Peter's AC brings Rock the Lough back on Sunday 13th September at the South Lake Leisure Centre in Craigavon. The 1k fun run starts at 9:20am with sign up on the day, then the half marathon at 9:40 (£36), the 5k at 9:45 (£19) and the 10k at 9:50 (£26). The routes are flat and fast. The 5k and 10k circle the Craigavon Lakes entirely off road, while the half marathon adds the trails of Oxford Island, with the public road section closed for the event. Pacers run in the half marathon and 10k, and water stations sit at miles 3, 6 and 9 and the finish. Race numbers are posted out, with t shirt collection after the event. There are no changing facilities at the leisure centre, so arrive ready to run. Parking is at the Craigavon Civic Centre and Rushmere Shopping Centre, with marshals directing runners to the start. Headphones are not permitted on the half marathon under UK Athletics rules. Prizes for the first three men and women in each race are presented at the finish line.
