Results & Photos of the Cork BHAA Pfizers 6 mile road race...Wed 10th May 2017

The Cork BHAA Pfizers 6 mile road race was held on Wednesday the 10th of May 2017 with a total of 402 runners crossing the finish line. That's represents a 13% jump on last years numbers and is the second highest ever for the event.

If you follow the results of local races in Cork, you'll see that a lot of races are struggling to maintain their numbers. For a 6 mile race to get such good numbers is something special, especially when you consider that the distance is too far for a lot of the Couch to 5k runners out there.

From the organisers...

· The 6 mile course route is shown in the poster, and is a new course for 2016 due to road closures in the area.
· 34th anniversary of long running BHAA race
· The race will be starting in the opposite direction to previous years, and further back from the roundabout than usual.
· The first mile is will be very fast, with a descent of about 60 feet over about 800m into Ringaskiddy village.
· The second mile starts flat but then you have the first climb of the evening - a right turn onto a sharp hill of about 400m just opposite the entrance to Ringaskiddy port. After cresting the hill, the next half mile or so is downhill, past the national school, which is just beyond the 2 mile marker. Anyone who does the Army/Navy 5 mile will be familiar with this road, except you will run it in the opposite direction here.
· After the national school the third mile continues with a slight drag, turning left at the junction with the R613. From here you pass the entrance to Novartis. Just after the 3 mile marker there is a good downhill stretch, loosing 60ft over about 400m. Turn right at Coolmore cross.
· The next mile will be tough on tired legs as you climb gradually to the Grotto at the back of Shanbally and turn right around the back of Novartis and past the 4 mile marker.
· The fifth mile starts with a small drag of about 400m or so, and then its nearly all downhill as you continue down this narrow country road and turn left back onto the R613 and fast descent back down to just outside Ringaskiddy village.
· The last mile starts as you turn left onto the N25, with a gentle climb back up past Pfizer and a slight downhill to the finish just outside the Rafeen Creek Sports Club (formerly the Pfizer Sports Club).
· A challenging course, with plenty of climbs and descents
· Legendary post-race refreshments afterwards

Notice...Cork BHAA Mount Oval Bar 6 mile road race - Thurs 19th June 2014

Since it first started, the Cork BHAA Mount Oval Bar 6 mile road race has been held on a Sunday morning in mid-November. In 2014, it has been changed to an evening event to coincide with the start of the Mount Oval Festival.

The race will be held on Thursday the 19th of June 2014 at 8pm. Organised in conjuntion with the Mount Oval Bar, this one is just to the south-east of the city on nice country roads and is very easy to get to.

Mount Oval is just off the N28 road to Carrigaline. It's very easy to get to from the South Ring Road in Cork City...

It certainly wouldn't be described as an easy 6 mile course as there are a number of hills. I use part of this course a lot on my own training runs for the simple reason that it's reasonably quiet and safe and it's in the countryside. Once the early hill is out of the way, the rest is pretty reasonable.On a nice sunny evening, some sections are really nice.

 As with all Cork BHAA races, the entry fee for registered runners is just €5 and €8 for the non-reg.

Also please note that afterwards, there is a complimentary BBQ to all runners and race stewards! ;o)

As part of the Mount Oval Festival, the race on the Thursday will be followed by a Craft Beer Fest on Friday the 20th and Family Fun Day on Saturday 21st.

They are also looking for some race stewards if you can help out? Contact Greg Moore at 021 4898162.

Results & Photos of the Cork BHAA Pfizers 6 mile road race...Wed 14th May 2014

A huge crowd of 425 runners took part in this years Cork BHAA Pfizers 6 mile road race near Ringaskiddy on Wednesday evening the 14th of May 2014. This was up a massive 47% on last years figure of 290. While 425 might be considered good for say a local 5k race, the Pfizers race is a tough 6 miler so getting that figure is exceptional. The previous record was 360 set back in 2010.

Preview of the Cork BHAA Mount Oval Bar 6 mile road race - Sun 18th Nov 2012

The main race this weekend is the Cork BHAA Mount Oval 6 mile road race in Rochestown.

As you can see from the race flyer, it starts at 11am. Entries as per usual for Cork BHAA events are €5 for registered runners and €8 for non-reg. Entries open at the Mount Oval Bar at 9am.

Between 9:30 and 10:30am. the Physio Centre will be doing warm up exercises just outside the Mount Oval bar.

Race Stewards.........From the Mount Oval Bar........"SAFETY IN NUMBERS"....WE NEED VOLUNTEER STEWARDS FOR OUR ROAD RACE THIS SUNDAY 18 NOV...BRIEFING 10am SHARP...GO TO LOCATIONS 10.30am...Race finishes around 12.15pm...CONTACT GREGG
Facebook...021 4898162...087 6243245...greggmountovalbar@gmail.com...Refreshments in Mount Oval Bar afterwards.

Getting there......Mount Oval is literally just a matter of minutes off the South Ring Road. Just follow the directions for Carrigaline at the Bloomfield interchange near Rochestown. As you cross over a bridge and proceed uphill, look out for the small slip road to the left for Mount Oval......

Slip road for Mount Oval....just after the roadside sculpture

This is an overall plan of the area. After taking the slip road, you drive up a narrow entrance to the estate. At the crest of the hill, you pass the start / finish area and then the Mount Oval Bar is located just about 300 metres beyond on the left.

Course.......The race course is mostly a large loop on country roads to the south of Mount Oval.

From the start line, you run downhill past the Mount Oval Bar...

The gradient is pretty gentle as the road goes through the estate. Note that there are several speed bumps! As you near the entrance / exit to the estate, the road flattens out. Then it's right at the exit....run 200 metres and then another right...

Here, you are running past Garryduff Sports Centre and it's a nice flat fast section. Note that the roads are not closed! Follow the race stewards instructions as to what side of the road to stay on.....most likely on the left.

At the far end of the sports grounds, you will have roughly 0.8 miles completed....which should be very fast. Now for the fun part ;o)

There is a hill coming up which is 600 metres long. It's certainly not easy and if you can go up this without getting too much out of breath then it will pay dividends later. Try too hard and you'll take ages to recover. The hill starts off modest enough but gradually gets steeper...

L....gentle start to the hill, R.....and gradually gets harder

On the hill, you go through the 1 mile mark. At the top, the road eases off and then it's left...

From here now, you are onto a nice country road with some flat sections at the start which should allow you to recover from that hill....

 After a while, the road rises again but in gentler sections. Around the 2 mile mark, the road eases off into a long flat section. This whole stretch of road is probably the nicest section of the course.

At 2.7 miles, you turn right at the T junction...

....and then it's downhill for the next 500 metres.The 3 mile mark is near the end. Then it's right again as you head north...

Now for the next tough hilly section....not as hard as before but still a factor as it's almost a mile long. In contrast to the earlier big hill, this one starts reasonably hard but soon it eases off into a gentle climb. Once the first 400m or so are out of the way then it's not too bad.

 Note!......This can be a busy stretch of road. Hopefully on a Sunday morning it wont be too bad but you should follow the race stewards instructions. If they ask you to stay on the left then please do so as there are a lot of twists and blind corners on this road.

As the road eases off around the 4 mile mark, it soon drops downhill again and then it's right at the next junction....

At this stage, you are at the three quarter way mark....i.e. 4.5 miles. After the turn off and a short flat section, you have a small hill ahead which is about 250 metres long....

After this, the road eases off again and soon you pass the junction where you turned off earlier....

From here, you are retracing your steps......although on the opposite side of the road! ;o).......and it's a fast and furious downhill. Down past the 5 mile mark...past Garryduff Sports Centre....left at the junction...left into Mount Oval and the long pull back up to the finish line.

Overall........it's certainly not an easy course, nor could it be described as fast. Yet for all that, it is still a nice area for a race. It's really close to Cork City and yet most of it is in the countryside. Mount Oval is only a few minutes from the South Ring Road so getting there is quick and easy. This is only the second year of this race and it's probably one of the nicer courses on the race calendar. They had some problems last year with some timid stewards at one of the junctions but that should be rectified this year. Expect a bit of a feast afterwards ;o)
