Direct flights to Cork from the UK |
Info for UK visitors.....The Ballycotton 10 mile road race is one of the largest road race in Ireland. It sells out early every year but a special window is left open for anyone outside the island of Ireland to enter. Entries must arrive by post before next Tuesday, the 8th of January.
The 2013 Ballycotton 10 entry form can be seem HERE
Ballycotton village itself is about 25 miles from Cork airport. There should be plenty of accommodation available in Cork City, Midleton or near Ballycotton itself.
It had been hoped that the organisers would have an updated entry list sometime before Christmas. I would guess that at this stage, they are more likely to wait until the last of the overseas entries come in and update it then. If it's anything like last year then the full list should online be in mid-January.
Surely it is discriminatory to leave a window open for non irish residents ?
ReplyDeleteI presume it may be because the post may be delayed somewhat.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that they also bring more money into the local economy then the more the better.
A gathering then...John Patrick for president...Welcome home...
ReplyDeleteDear John,
ReplyDeleteyou seem to be making a lot of assumptions about my circumstances. Not sure why Overseas cant apply at same time as locals !
