Notice: Douglas Credit Union Charity 5k in Tramore Valley Park - Sun 1st Dec 2019

This brand new charity 5k is coming up in Tramore Valley Park in Cork City on Sunday the 1st of December 2019 at 11am.

It will use the exact same 5k course that was used for the recent Cork BHAA HSE 5k there.

Entries... The entry fee is €10 and you can enter online HERE

Pre-entries are now closed but you can still enter on the morning of the race.

Please note that there will be a draw for a free pair of NIKE AIR PEGASUS shoes for all those who pre-enter courtesy of John Buckley Sports.

All proceeds go towards the following two charities...

Cork Cancer Care Centre - a ‘home away from home’ where vital support is provided to all those touched by Cancer including free counselling as well as a range of complimentary therapies.

Cork Rainbow Club - a charity who’s aim is to to help and support Children, Teens, Young Adults and their families living with autism

Access by car is of course via the South Link Road. There is a pedestrian entrance from near Douglas Shopping Centre but it's a fair bit away.

The 5k course itself is basically two 2.5km loops...

There are no real hills to speak of and the course is a mix of a compact gravel surface and tarmac.

Considering its central location and proximity to the South Rung Road, it should get a good turnout.
