With it being so close to the M8 motorway, it should attract runners from a wide catchment area.
Directions...Cahir is located in the south of Tipperary, just off the M8 motorway from Cork to Dublin...
If you are coming from the motorway, follow all the signs for Cahir. This will take you into the centre of the town and this T-junction shown below. Cahir Castle is about 300m to your left but you need to turn right here and drive up the hill. The start line is outside Morrisons Garage which you will see on the left.
Course......The 4 mile race takes in a loop to the south and west of the town...
Race HQ is Morrisons Garage with the race starting and finishing just outside.
You can see a full preview of the course with photos here... http://munsterraceroutes.blogspot.ie/2013/02/tipperary003.html
From Clonmel AC...Cahir RUN4Fun in aid of South Tipp Hospice
On Wednesday 26th April all roads lead to Cahir for our very popular Cahir Run4Fun 4 mile road race at 7.30pm. This year the event will raise much needed funds for South Tipp Hospice. This event is promoted by Clonmel Athletic Club and sponsored by Morrison Mini Cahir. Last year’s event was a brilliant success with 365 athletes competing. This event over 4 miles caters for all levels of ability from Walkers to joggers to athletes.
For every participant there will be a donation made to South Tipp Hospice, so the more participants the more funds this worthy cause will benefit from.
The race will start on the Clogheen road outside Morrison BMW Garage and the athletes will proceed out the Clogheen road turning right before Cahir Golf Club. From here they will proceed for about 2k to the Mitchelstown Road where they will turn right and head for Cahir with the race finishing outside Morrison BMW premises.
There will be Cash Prizes for the following categories:
1st 2 Senior Men, 1st 2 Master Men 0/40 and over.

There will also be a lot of Cash Prizes allocated in an Open Draw on finishing positions during the race.

Among these prizes there will be a prize of €100 as well as many other Cash Prizes. One prize per athlete.
The Entry fee will be €10 and entries will be taken on the night at Morrison BMW, Cahir from 6pm onwards.
