Results of the Killeagh 4-mile road race - Thurs 8th May 2025

The annual Killeagh 4-mile road race was held on Thurs 8th May 2025 on a dry evening. The numbers were up a whopping 78% this year which is a record for this event.

This race was originally scheduled for a Sunday morning in late February but it had to be cancelled. Normally, rescheduled races often get lower numbers but the change from a cold Sunday morning in February to an evening race in May seems to have done the trick.

First place & a time of 19:18 for Michael Harty of East Cork AC

A total of 213 runners turned out for the annual Killeagh 4-mile road race which was held on Sunday the 26th of February. Conditions were pretty good for this race with cool conditions and a stiff easterly breeze for the second half.

Looking at the stats, the numbers were up a fraction on last year... 213 v 209 ...so that's a good sign. Like the Carrigaline race last week, the new Athletics Ireland 'One-Day Licence' for non-club runners doesn't seem to have had much of an impact on the numbers taking part.
