    Hello runningincork,
    My thought on "best 5k" is,
    Carrigtwohill(Barryscourt) has almost everything. Fun, support, enthusiasm, organisation, food, marshalling, route. All excellent,
    one question mark? The start area.
    Having said that, I am looking forward to my third shot this year.
    Regards, Michae T. Glanmire.

    I think Cloyne 5k deserves a mention, well organised, fast course and a lavish spread afterwards. My 4mile vote goes to Ballintotis.

    Cloyne 5k is by far the best , fast course and plenty of food and stewards on route. Ballintotis gets my vote for the 4 mile.
