Notice: Moycarkey Coolcroo 5km road race, Tipperary - Fri 13th June 2025



The Moycarkey Coolcroo AC 5km road race in Littleton, Co Tipperary is coming up on Friday the 13th of June 2025.

Online entries HERE

The online entry fee is €15. The race HQ is at the Littleton Community Centre in Littleton. Entries will also be taken on the night. The race starts at 7:30pm.


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.

Clothing Collection: We also have a Clothing Collection fundraiser(Clean, used clothing, shoes, belts & bedding are all acceptable - excluding - duvets, pillows and cushions.) the day after if people coming

to the race they might have some old clothes that they need to offload.

All monies raised go back into club development of our club field which is beside the Community Center when you get your registration, 

It was a dilapidated field which we have been renovating the last few years which we now own and are in hopes of building an Olympic standard Track by the year 2027 but we need help funding which the races and clothing collection will help immensely.
