Notice: Cork BHAA Gas Networks Ireland 5k road race in Cork City - Wed 19th July 2023


This years Cork BHAA Gas Networks Ireland 5k road race in Cork City is coming up on Wed 19th July 2023 at 8pm.

Entry fee is €5 for registered runners and €10 for non-registered. Registration is open from 6:30pm to 7:30pm at Cork Boat Club in Blackrock village, with the first 500 entries receiving a free long sleeve dry fit t-shirt.

Thanks to Liam Murphy for the photo of his daughters showing off the long sleeve dry fit tops

The race starts near Lee Rowing Club and takes you past Pairc Uí Chaoimh, Centre Park Road, Monahan Road and the Marina. As courses go, there are no hills and it's flat and fast.


Parking is limited near the Cork Boat Club but there is plenty at the other end of the Marina near Pairc Uí Chaoimh. If you car-pool, suggest the driver drops off the others who can register for them at Cork Boat Club and meet them at the start.


The following areas are where you are likely to find parking but these will fill up early so it would be worth getting to registration as early as possible: far side of Blackrock Castle, near Shandon Boat Club and city side of Blackrock church.

The dry fit tops for the first 500 to register on the night are shown above. Note that these have long sleeves which are really useful for training in the cool Winter months.
