The Nobó Run Series Wicklow Town

At The Sports Room, we’re big fans of Nobó - they’re one of our go-to snacks when it comes to refuelling before or after a run.

This year, Nobó are proudly sponsoring the Volkswagen Financial Services Wicklow Half Marathon & 10km on March 22nd as the official nutrition partner and they’re also giving something back to the wider running community along the way.

That’s where the Nobó Run Series comes in - a free community run series coached by FORUS Endurance and delivered in collaboration with The Sports Room, Wicklow. The focus is on coached training sessions, fuelling advice and building a supportive running community.

The first session took place in early February and focused on tempo running - a cornerstone of strong race preparation. The aim was to help runners learn how to use structured sessions properly, with coaching input, pacing guidance and the support of a group environment.

The next session takes place on March 7th and is now live on Eventbrite. This session will be a coached hill repeat workout, led by FORUS Endurance.

Whether you’re training for the Wicklow Half, building towards a 10K or just want to run stronger and smarter, this session is designed to help improve power, pacing, and technique on hills. The coaches will break down why hill reps matter, how to approach them properly and how to confidently include them in your own training going forward.

The session is free to attend but spaces are limited, so sign-up is required. You don’t need to be training for the Wicklow Half Marathon to take part - everyone is welcome.

📍 Meet outside The Sports Room on March 7th at 8:59am
Nobó will be there on the day to support runners with fuelling and recovery.
