Last call for overseas entrants for the Ballycotton 10 mile road race...

For anyone living in the UK, the closing date for entries to the 2013 Ballycotton 10 mile road race is next Tuesday, the 8th of January 2013.
Direct flights to Cork from the UK
As can be seen from the map above, there is a wide selection of flights from various parts of the UK to Cork airport. It might be a viable option for a small group that want to fly over for the weekend, rent a car for the weekend and do the race.

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.

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.

  1. Surely it is discriminatory to leave a window open for non irish residents ?

  2. I presume it may be because the post may be delayed somewhat.

    Considering that they also bring more money into the local economy then the more the better.

  4. Dear John,
    you seem to be making a lot of assumptions about my circumstances. Not sure why Overseas cant apply at same time as locals !
