Records galore at the Moycarkey Coolcroo 5k in Tipp - Fri 13th June 2025

New course record for David McCarthy

The annual Moycarkey Coolcroo 5k road race in Tipperary was held this year on Friday 13th of June 2025 and all sort of records were broken.

A total of 265 runners took part in this years race, up a whopping 43% on last year. Not only is that a pretty good turnout for a 5k race in rural Tipperary but it was also a record number.

The 5k race is noted for being a fast course and this is reflected in the results with 82 runners finishing under 20 minutes.

The first man home was David McCarthy of West Waterford in a new course record time of  14m 29s!

The first woman was Dymphna Ryan of Dundrum AC who finished in a time of 16m 59s, another course record.
