This inaugural 10-mile race, takes place on Sunday, March 9th on the Midleton to Mogeely Greenway (that's 5 miles out and back). This flat, fast course is sure to set a new 2025 PB for many participants, and attract athletes from near and far. A vibrant atmosphere is guaranteed along the race course, and the safety of the Greenway is ideal for families to come along and support competitors on the day.
But this isn't just another race; all proceeds will go towards delivering a regional athletic sporting hub to, and for, all communities of Cork East. This sporting hub will provide all weather and all year round, fully inclusive spaces, delivering opportunities for all ages and all abilities to enhance their physical and mental health, build friendships and strengthen communities through competitive and recreational sport.
Our team of race organisers have been busy planning this race for the past few months and are delighted with the support from Cork County Council, Iarnród Éireann and our race sponsor Eirgrid.
