Race notice...Youghal 4 mile road race - Thurs 11th July 2013

This 'new' road race is coming up in the town of Youghal in East Cork on Thursday, the 11th of July 2013...


Well, maybe not exactly 'new' but more of a re-establishment of an old road race that used to take place on the streets of Youghal many years ago. Back then, the By-Pass hadn't been constructed and the traffic through the town was very heavy making the road race somewhat congested. Fast forward to 2013 and all of the heavy traffic now bypasses the town and the streets of Youghal are suitable once more for a road race.


With it's location near the county boundary, the race is sure to attract runners from both East Cork and West Waterford.

The course consists of three loops of a flat fast course on the streets of the historic town and passes under the iconic Youghal Clock Tower...

Organised by Youghal AC, this race has an Athletics Ireland licence and has been measured accurately by Jones Counter. More info closer to the date...
