This years Cork BHAA Gas Networks Ireland 5k road race in Cork City is coming up on Wed 17th July 2024 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.
There are no pre-entries so get there early on the night to enter.
Note that these have long sleeves which are really useful for training in the cool Winter months. You will need to be there in person to pick up the t-shirt, you can't pick up a t-shirt for someone else.
Due to ongoing works on the Marina, the 5k race will be held this year on the Blackrock - Mahon Greenway.
The race starts on the Greenway near the old Blackrock railway station which is just off the Blackroad Road. This is about 800m from Cork Boat Club.
The race then takes in the Blackrock and Mahon Greenways. It's dead flat except for the bridge over the South Ring Road. The finish line is near Blackrock Castle which is about 1km from the Boat Club.
Parking is limited near the Boat Club so it would be worth getting to registration as early as possible: Other parking areas include the far side of Blackrock Castle, near Shandon Boat Club and city side of Blackrock church.
Getting to the start line... From the Boat Club, go up the Blackrock Road to the left of the Nattural Foods Bakery. After you pass St Michael's church, you'll see the entrance to the Greenway on the left at the bridge.
