On the 25th of September, Sport Ireland announced that they were giving a grant of €404,820 towards a new 400m athletics track in Bandon.
Bandon AC are currently building a new 400m athletics track which will no doubt be used by locals as well as many of the clubs in the west Cork region. An artists impression of the facility is shown above.
The photo above shows what it looked like in the spring of 2024. Proceeds from the club's 5k road race last April went towards this project.
The latest photo taken in August of 2024 shows that a lot of the ground work is now completed.
The club has a fundraising goal of €550k for the first phase of the development. The new track is located about 3kms to the south of Bandon on the R603 road to Kilbrittain.
