HSE 5k Results

The results of the HSE 5k from this morning are now available in Excel / PDF. We had mostly dry conditions for this race in spite of the forecast earlier in the week. It was a blustery morning though with over 370 finishers including a sizable contingent from the Wibbly Wobbly Wonders. Congratulations to you all on completing what may be the first of many 5k races. We’d be delighted to see you register with us for 2020.

Thank you to the support staff at Tramore Valley Park who are a pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to many more races at this lovely venue.

Some photos below from my phone. More to follow on our Facebook page.

The next race is the last race of the year. Be sure to come out and support the Cork Simon Turkey Trot on December 8th.

The results of the Cork to Cobh race from this morning are now available in Excel / PDF. Well done to the 809 finishers which is over a hundred up on last year. We had glorious weather as (almost) usual for this race which is quite lucky as the rain is pouring down now! A big thank you to all the volunteers who make this event happen, before, during and after the event itself. We hope you all enjoyed the flagship event of our calendar and will be back for it again next year. Don’t forget that we still have a few races left this year.
