Fri 9th Dec........
There is a floodlit cross-country race at the CIT grounds in Bishopstown at 6:30pm. The women's event over 3km will be followed by a men's race of 5km, both on a one-kilometre loop around the pitches at CIT, and both open to all runners. Entry is just €5, with proceeds (after paying for the lights!) going to the Make a Wish Foundation.
Sat 10th Dec......
Clonakilty......There is a Half-Marathon and Full Marathon in Clonakilty in west Cork. It starts at 9am and the entry fee is €65 and €55 respectively.
Waterford.......There is a Half-Marathon on the usual Waterford to Tramore circuit. It starts at 12 noon and the entry fee is €30.
Sun 11th Dec.....
Cork City......The Cork BHAA are holding their usual Simon/Turkey Trot 4 mile, off-road race at 11am. Entry is €10 at Lee Rowing Club. I presume it follows the usual format where watches are not allowed and you must guess your finish time.
Mitchelstown......There is a Santa Dash at 2:30pm in Mitchelstown in north-east Cork. Entry is €10. Not sure what the distance is?

john i dont mean to be pedantic but I think Waterford starts at 12??? will you look into this and confirm it as emails from waterford are saying 12......
ReplyDeleteYou're right...now corrected.
ReplyDeleteThis is the info on their website...."Waterford AC Annual Half Marathon
1st December @ 11:00am " which is obviously wrong.
Well done on an excellent website. great to be able to reconfirm race start times as there is nothing worse than arriving late for a race having drven a long distance.Thanks again
ReplyDeleteDo you know what off road means? I'm hoping to do the race on Sunday for the Simon communtity and never took part in the race before. Many Thanks
ReplyDeleteI presume the term 'off-road' that they used for the race refers to the race being on the old railway track...i.e. tarmac suface and a short area on a kind of gravel surface. I think they were referring to the fact that it wasn't on a public road as opposed to some sort of cross country type of race.
ReplyDeleteHi John, I expect there will be a number of Cork runners heading to the Curragh on Sunday for the National Novice X Country. Best of Luck to everyone participating.
ReplyDeletere turkey trot results......
ReplyDelete10 days since the race and still no sign of the results, any info on when they'll be available?? very much hoping they'll be out this side of xmas!
