The organisers ask that all participants arrive early and allow plenty of time to enter and to

get to the start line which is a few hundred metres away. Runners can also avail of the off

road parking in the Cork Camogie grounds which is just across the road from St.Luke's.

*****************************

Here are some of the reasons why it should get a good turnout......

1) It is at a time of year when most of the mid-week evening races have stopped.

2) It is in Cork City with a huge number of runners within its catchment area.

3) Fast accurate 5km course.

4) 80% of it is on a quiet public walkway.

5) Finishers get a 20% discount voucher for John Buckley Sports which could easily result in

savings in excess of the entry fee (no expiry date).

6) All proceeds go to St.Luke's Home which is a registered charity.
