BHAA in conjunction with John Buckley Sports are holding a 5 km road race on the Centre Park Road / Monaghan Road circuit. This is one of the largest, fastest and most popular 5 km races on the local race calendar and is sure to attract a large crowd.
As well as the usual refreshments, prizes, etc, they will also be handing out a 20% discount voucher for John Buckley Sports at the end of the race. I asked John about this by mail and he told me that there is no time limit on it and the 20% is off anything for sale in his shop regardless of price.
More details on this race in a later post.
Great to see a bit of interest in the track scene again!
ReplyDeleteJust a comment on the T&F meet at CIT. Great to get a chance to race on the track. There is nearly too many road races in Cork but almost no Track events. The organisation was first class and the results were very accurate with some fast times recorded. Looking foward to these events over the summer.
