The mens race was won by Sean McGrath of East Cork AC in a time of 15 minutes flat, just 7 seconds of Kenneth Rodgers of St.Johns AC in Co.Clare. The race was perhaps a little unusual in that there was only 11 seconds between the top 5 men at the finish.
The womens race was won by Emma Murphy of St.Finbarrs AC in a time of 17:21 with Jackie Carthy making the long trip from Co.Wexford to take second.

Well done to the organisers.. great race.. well organised .. very fast course and great support. Very enjoyable event.
Another great race. This is my 2nd year doing it and I will be back again, mainly for the spread after :-)
Nice flat course and a new PB to add to it. It's no wonder why it keeps going from strength to strength.
Really enjoyed the run yesterday evening, good course and great support from people along the route.
First time running in Cloyne but will be back next year.
First time running it, class race, gonna make it an annual event for myself and the family
My 2nd race, that's for a very well organized and enjoyable race.
ps. The cheesecake afterwards was... epic.
Great event. All credit to the organisers and the people of Cloyne. I've done alot of these races over the summer and this was amongst the most enjoyable. These events are fantastic for the spirit of communities and should be actively encouraged in other towns. Good to see youngsters out too, alot of people seem not to like kids running but i think it makes it a more inclusive event without devaluing it. Perhaps an earlier start time for U-18s would suit everyone.
As always the cloyne 5 k did not dissapoint once again. The numbers were up again and will continue to increase . The ballintotus 4 miler and the cloyne 5 k are without doubt the two best races in the county of cork. Lovley courses great spread of food afterwards plenty of stewards no compliants bring on 2014.
