Notice : Ballymacoda 4 mile road race in East Cork - Fri 18th May 2018

In a major change, the organisers of the Kicredan 5k have changed the course to a 4 miler this year. It is now the Ballymacoda 4 mile road race and it is coming up on Friday evening, the 18th of May 2018 at 8pm. Note that there is a free running buff for all finishers.

Located near Ballymacoda in East Cork, this one is easy to access from the east via Youghal and from the west via Castlemartyr and Ladysbridge...

The course takes in a loop to the north-west of the GAA grounds and like the surrounding countryside is pretty flat. One big change from the Kilcredan road is that the whole race is now on quiet roads where as the 5k used part of the R633.

Looking at the photos of the long straight sections and the Ordnance Survey map, I think this should be a very fast 4 mile course.

There will be showers available to use in the sports field hall changing rooms after the race.
