Looking ahead to events over the weekend...Sat 19th & Sun 20th Dec

The weather forecast for the weekend looks better than the two previous weekends but the rain will be never too far away. On Saturday, there is a choice between the 5k parkruns, a fun run in Glanmire and a 5k race in Shanagarry in East Cork.

On Sunday, there is a 4k race in Cloyne in East Cork and a Turkey Trot in Castlelyons. In Newmarket, there is the annual 5k road race organised by Duhallow AC at 1pm. Speaking to the organisers during the week, they have got loads of sponsors onboard for this race and as a result, there are plenty of prizes. There are 5 mixed team prizes and lots of the prizes given out will be Christmas hampers so they are of good value.
