This charity 4 mile race was held near Pairc Ui Chaoimh in Cork City on Sunday, the 16th of December. A total of 359 people took part and over €4,000 was raised for Cork Simon.

The format of this race was for people to predict their time and then to run without watches. Those that ran closest to their predicted times won. Incredibly, two runners were spot on while another three were just one second out!
