A look at the Cloyne Commons 4k Series - 2014 to 2026

The Cloyne Commons 4k Winter Series in east Cork is somewhat unique in that it's one of the very few races outside of the BHAA where people can enter on the day for just €5. This is in marked contrast to other events which have online entry and fees of something like €15 to €25.

It is in a sense the last vestige of what typical road races used to be like in the past.

Each year, there are 5 events and they run from November to March. Now that the most recent series has finished, I had a look at the numbers. I went back over the results which I have up on the blog and calculated the average number per event for each of the series.

Some points..

1. First Race... The first race was back in November of 2014 so it has been going for over 10-years. Even though I post the results, I had no idea it went back that far. I was kind of expecting something like 2018/2019.

2. Average per series... The chart above shows the average number of finishers for each of the series. The most recent 2025/2026 series was a record one and passed the previous best which was 2019/2020.

3. Biggest race... The highest number of finishers in any one race was back in November of 2019 when 478 runners crossed the finish line. I have no idea why there were so many that day.

4. March 2020... There was no race that month due to the pandemic so there were only 4 races for the 2019/2020 series. The fact that so many people turned out in Nov 2019 and there wasn't a 5th race to bring down the average meant that the 2019/2020 numbers are a lot higher than before.

5. 49 races... I've updated some of the older results posts and if you want to see the results of any of the 49 races so far than you can use this link to scroll back to find the results.

The 3rd race in the Cloyne Commons 4k Winter Series was held on Sunday 18th January 2026 and a total of 365 runners crossed the finish line.

The result of this is shown in the numbers. This race in January of 2024 had 158 finishers. In January of 2025, it jumped to 327 and now in 2026, it's up 10.7% to 365.

Cloyne 4k Winter Series - Nov 2025 to Mar 2026

The Cloyne 4k Winter Series is a set of five low key races in the village of Cloyne in east Cork with an entry fee of just €5! As can be seen from the flyer above, there are five dates. Complete 4 out of the 5 to get a high tech dry fit top.

Each race starts at 9:30am and registration opens in The Rock Bar from 8:30am.

There are no hidden charges, online fees, one-day licence fees or other add-on's, you just turn up on the day and throw €5 into the biscuit tin.

The start line is 600m away down a narrow country road. The course is essentially one loop with a slight overlap and it's a flat and fast course.

This race is very much in the tradition of many of the old road races in East Cork and the Ballycotton area where the entry fee was very modest for a high quality race.
