The big race next weekend is the 5 mile road race organised by Eagle AC in Carrigaline on Sunday, the 18th of February 2018 at 11am.
Please note that there is a change of route this year. The road north from Coolmore Cross is closed due to ongoing works.
The new course is much the same as the old one except that the start and finish point will have to be moved to account for the diversion around the road works. The start is pretty much the same distance from the race HQ while the finish line will be 0.8 of a mile away.
The new course has been accurately measured by Kevin Cummins of the Cork BHAA so it's an accurate 5 miles.
