Looking ahead to the road races in Cork and Munster this week - Mon 14th to Sun 20th of July

Considering the busy schedule of Summer road races, this week is a bit unusual in that there is nothing mid-week. The first race is the Donoughmore 7 mile at 8pm on Friday. Donoughmore is about 25 kms North West from Cork City in the foothills of the Boggeragh Mountains. I'll preview the race here on Thursday. In the meantime, you should be able to see the race flyers and Press release on the right hand side of this page.

Elsewhere in Munster on Friday evening, there is a 10km race in Pilltown (Co.Kilkenny...I know, it's Leinster!), just to the North West of Waterford City. On Saturday, there is a 5km race associated with the festival in Killarney, Kerry. I will provide a little bit more info about those races later in the week on the Running in Munster blog.
