Results of the Buttevant 4 mile road race - Sun 7th Nov 2021

This 4-mile race in Buttevant attracted a field of 173 runners which is pretty good for a road race in North Cork. Looking through my previous posts, the last time this race was held was two and half years ago in May 2019.

I was suprised to see that back in 2019, it had a field of 302 runners which would have made it one of the bigger road race in the region. This year however, there is a 42% drop to 174.

Doing a quick back of the envelope calculation, that's just over a €1,000 drop in income (2019 - €12 entry, 2021 - €15 entry).
