First up is a lovely course through Corrin Woods just outside Fermoy and is an ideal introduction to trail running for newcomers so why not come and give it a go.
You can bring the whole family to Corrin because there will be an adult race, a junior race (age 10 - 16) and an accompanied kiddies run (under 10).
The run will be fully marked with a 6.6km distance and 260m in climb for the adult race. The juniors’ race is approx. 2km with 60m of climb. The kiddies’ race is 1km and the child must be accompanied by an adult.
