The Cork BHAA MTU 5k is coming up on Sunday the 2nd of March 2025 at 10am.

From the organisers: "We are asking runners to bring their own reusable cup for refreshments after the race. MTU has a Ditch the Disposables campaign across all MTU campuses which involves removing single-use cups from all canteens as part of it’s commitment to environmental sustainability. "

Course... There is a slight change in the course this year and it's shown below...



The first km is mostly on a public road and this gives the field a chance to thin out it goes onto the Greenway behind MTU. It's a pretty flat course and there are no real hills to speak of. 

This is always a popular event and should get a good turnout.
