St Catherine's AC 5k

The St Catherine's AC Annual Road Race 5k is an evening road race organised by St Catherine's Athletic Club, held in Ballynoe in northeast County Cork. The course takes runners along the rural roads of this quiet east Cork countryside. The terrain is hilly, with the local roads providing a challenging, undulating character. The race is an Athletics Ireland registered event, held under permit, and is one of the established fixtures on the east Cork summer road race calendar. Race numbers are collected at the start on the night. The event is well supported by running clubs from across east Cork and south Munster, and offers prizes across senior and age-category classes for both men and women. The race typically takes place on a Thursday or Friday evening in late July or early August.
