The village of Banteer is about 20kms to the west of Mallow and just south of the N72 road. There are age category prizes up to O70 and the course is reasonably flat.

Update: 27/02/2026 - From the organisers... "Entries to the race continue to come in thick and fast – the route is the same as last year (see the map below) and resulted in some fast times.

Our pacers, from 32 minutes up to 50 minutes, will be there to support the runners and drive them on if targeting PBs or specific training goals for longer races later in the year. This will be excellent preparation for future races, including the next Rebel Diamond League race in Dromahane and the Mallow 10-mile race later in the month.

Also, for the first time, we are offering prizes for breaking the new course record.

As noted by some people, don’t forget there is a train station in Banteer – less than 0.5 miles from the start line, so a convenient way to get here if you prefer not to drive!"
