Notice...The Great Railway Run 5km, 10km or 25km - Sun 23rd Apr 2017

The annual Great Railway Run from Cork to Carrigaline will be held this year on Sunday the 23rd of April 2017 .There are a choice of three distances.......a 25 km race starting at 9:30am from Cork City to Carrigaline, a 10 km race from Monkstown to Carrigaline starting at 11am or a 5 km run/walk from Ringaskiddy to Carrigaline starting at 11:45am.


The run will roughly follow the route of the old Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway which ran from 1850 until 1932.

For a large part of the run, the route will follow the old railway line that skirts the shores of Cork Harbour. The big change this year is the finish. An extra section will be added in after Shanbally so that the race finishes at the new Carrigaline Youth Centre. This avoids the narrow finish on the footpath outside the GAA club.


The entry fees are as follows...

          Normal Price      After 16th Apr 2017
5K...............€12..............................€17
10K.............€20..............................€30
25K.............€30..............................€40
