From the organisers......The Outfieldsports.ie 3 Counties Challenge moves back to County Tipperary for Race 3 in the series, the "Deadman's 5" mile road race on Friday 6th June @ 7:30 sharp.

It is mostly flat, with a short drag in the middle, but mile 4 on is slightly downhill, so a good time is possible.
