Notice...East Ferry 5 mile road race in East Cork - Fri 10th June 2016

In terms of race courses, this must be one of the nicest in Cork. Located just south of Midleton in East Cork, this is just a short drive from Cork City.


I've used this area for training runs in the past and it really is a lovely location. I think a lot of people drive south of Midleton on the road to Whitegate unaware of what a stunning spot East Ferry is. On a sunny summers evening, there is no better spot for a race.


The race HQ is at the local national school. It has an Athletics Ireland permit and has been measured properly by Jones Counter. After the race, there will be the usual refreshments.

This year, they will have chip timing and unfortunately due to insurance restrictions, it's over 16's only

You'll get a good idea from the photos of what a nice location it is.

    The #241 bus will get you down there ok but you'll have to arrange a lift back.
