This 10 km road race is coming up in Bishopstown on Sunday, the 16th of October 2016. That is a change from last year when it was in November. Once again, there is the option of a 5km race as well.
This is going to be of interest to a lot of people for a number of reasons.....
1) There aren't that many 10k races really on the calendar. Loads of 5k and 5 mile races but fast 10k courses are a bit thin on the ground.
2) In Bishopstown in Cork City so it is central to a lot of people.
3) Dry-fit top included in the early entry fee for both the 5k and 10k.

Chip Timing
Souviner T-Shirt
Goody Bag
AAI Licence & Measured by Jones Counter

Hi John, Thought you'd like to know that the race website http://www.corksports.ie/index.cfm/page/howtoenter3 states that "Early bird offer closes on 5th October" rather than October 9th as mentioned at https://www.facebook.com/events/336525963359401/ I wonder which is correct? Also they seem to have used "souviner" instead of "souvenir" which has carried across to your blog :-) All the best and thanks for your trojan work keeping the blog updated.
