Running events coming up next weekend... Sat 15th & Sun 16th Dec 2018


The Christmas period is one of the busiest times of the year for running events and it really kicks off next weekend.

The list below which is extracted from the race calendar gives a good idea of what is on offer. Which event you take part in really depends on where you live.

The big race in Co.Cork next weekend is the annual Newmarket 5k organised by Duhallow AC on Sunday the 16th of December. They have had quite a large number of pre-entries to date and you can still enter on the day.

These are the running events in the South of Ireland on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th of December 2018.
