From Moycarkey Coolcroo AC.... The 5K in Tipperary You Can’t Miss! Speed, atmosphere, and top-class course — this is a 5K you don’t want to miss. A fast, flat course, ideal race conditions and a warm welcome make it the perfect event for PB chasers and first-timers alike!

As can be seen from the map below, the village of Littleton is just off the M8 motorway so it's easy to get to.

The 5k course... The start line is about 1.5kms to the north-east of Littleton so allow time to get there from the village.

The race starts on the old N8 road from Cork to Dublin. Since the opening of the motorway, it is now a wide and reasonably quiet road.

The width of the road and the fact that it's pretty much dead straight will allow the field to thin out nicely in the first mile / 1.5kms.

Once the runners enter Littleton, they take the second left and go onto quiet rural roads. After two more junctions, the course loops around returns to Littleton.

The variation in elevation for the 5k course is no more than 10m so it should be a fast course.
