Notice...LeisureWorld Rebel Run 10k - Sun 16th Oct 2016

This 10 km road race is coming up in Bishopstown on Sunday, the 16th of October 2016. That is a change from last year when it was in November. Once again, there is the option of a 5km race as well.

2) In Bishopstown in Cork City so it is central to a lot of people.
3) Dry-fit top included in the early entry fee for both the 5k and 10k.

The course is a gentle rolling course with a mixture of roads and pathways. Entry fee is €15 before October 9th after which the fee increases to €20.

The 5km is a Fun Fitness event for beginners and people who wish to challenge themselves. There are no prizes for the 5km as its a participation event for all levels. (The 10km is available for more serious runners). More experienced runners are welcome to take part in the 5km as it will be chip timed, however the focus of the 5km is for people with a lower level of fitness, or who wish to take part in a more relaxed participation event.
