Please note that the Mallow 10 mile road race has been cancelled.
Mallow Athletic Club regret to announce that the 2020 Coop Superstores Mallow 10 mile road race scheduled for Sunday 22nd March will not go ahead at this time.
We have been monitoring recent events and in the interests of safeguarding the health of event participants, spectators, volunteers and our own club members we have decided on this course of action.

The Mallow 10 mile road race is coming up on Sunday the 22nd of March 2020 at 12:30pm. Entries opened on Friday December 6th.
There will be a lot of demand for this race and it will certainly sell out. Outside of the Dungarvan 10, this is probably the second most popular 10 miler in Munster.
Going on previous entries, the Dungarvan 10 is an event that sells out in hours where as the Mallow 10 sells out in weeks. There is also a race dry fit top for all participants.

Updated info will appear here and on the race website... https://mallowtenmile.wordpress.com/
This is probably the wise call based on the projections of where the COVID 19 situation might end up... happy to support the guys at Mallow AC when they get to reschedule.
ReplyDeleteGreat event and well organised.
Good call. I assume all other races will also be cancelled for the foreseeable future?
ReplyDeleteAthletics Ireland should step in and ban any race with over 500 participants.
ReplyDeleteThe main road, the M20 was in poor condition too. Big roadworks going on. Cork city organisers need to make a decision too
