This Autumn 5 km race series is coming up in Caslteisland, Co.Kerry on three Wednesday evenings in September. The entry fee is €5 for the first two with the last one costing €10.

The series is organised by An Ríocht AC and registration for each race is at their clubhouse at the track in Castleisland.

Anyone entering the last race and one of the first two will receive a buff.  This can be worn in various positions on the head but the most useful use is probably that of a neck scarf on cold winter days
