Notice...Togher 5k road race - Tues 27th Dec 2016

The annual Togher 5k is coming up over the Christmas period on Tuesday the 27th of December at 1pm.


This is always a popular race and is one of the biggest in Cork over Christmas. After the success of last year, Togher AC have decided to keep the same 5k course.  As 5k courses go, this one is pretty fast and it's mostly around quiet housing estates.

Here is a video of the course from Togher AC (Note the date is for 2015!)...



Course Preview...Full details on the new course with directions, maps, photos, preview, etc can be seen HERE

Entries...The online entry fee is €12 and you can enter online HERE

Entries on the day also cost €12. 

All proceeds from the event go towards Togher AC and Cork Mental Health Foundation.

From the organisers....Following on from the success of our event last year we are back this year with kind sponsorship from Ryans of Togher SuperValu. We are delighted to be running this event again in association with Cork Mental Health Foundation and Housing Association. All funds raised will go to support this great organisation and Togher AC.

This years event has special meaning with Togher AC celebrating 50 years in the community. There will be a sport T-shirt for all entrants and a junior race for younger competitors.

There's also a childrens race on the day at 12 noon for 10-15 year olds...0.5 miles and €2 entry. 

We look forward to welcoming you all during the festive period on December 27th :-)


The course has been properly measured by Jones Counter.

  1. Fair play to Togher AC for a great race. Great atmosphere at the start line and a nice t-shirt for the effort.
