The village of Banteer is about 20kms to the west of Mallow and just south of the N72 road. There are age category prizes up to O70 and the course is reasonably flat.
From Shane Riordan - race director... “This is the first race in the 2026 Rebel Diamond League so you need to enter to be able to win one of the famous Diamond League cups. We are expecting a great crowd on the day so please get your entries in here... https://eventmaster.ie/event/3zEvix4tZW
Mount Hillary AC with our main sponsor , Tarrant’s Skoda Banteer, are delighted to launch the 'Fast and Flat' Banteer 5 Mile Road Race which will take place on Sunday 8th March at 10am
The total elevation is only 24m over the 5 miles so we expect some fast times . We are looking forward to welcoming you to a quality race on a fast and flat scenic 5 mile route and I’m sure you will enjoy the refreshments afterwards where there will be lots of home baking delights.
Banteer has a proud history in Athletics with it being the birthplace of two-time Olympic Gold Medallist Dr. Pat O’Callaghan. We would like to continue this rich tradition by providing a quality road race."
Banteer is located about 20kms to the west of the town of Mallow in N Cork. It's just 1km south of the N72 Killarney to Mallow road.
The distance from Cork City is about 54 minutes and it's probably quicker to go via the main N20 road to Mallow and then take the N72 west. The alternative R579 route via Cloghroe and up over the hills to Nad might be shorter but it has a lot of twists and turns.
Banteer is also centrally located for any runners in Kerry or S Limerick.
