1,400 participants will take to the line in Tullamore on Saturday.
Representatives from the Tullamore Harriers and Bord na Móna have officially launched the Bord na Móna Tullamore Harriers Half Marathon.
With the race just over two weeks away, excitement is building for the August 31st event, which has already attracted a record-breaking 1,400 participants.
