A reminder to all runners to check back on CorkBHAA.com for most up to date race info as it is liable to change.

The first race is the usual ESB Cross Country 5k on Sunday Jan 6 at 11am. This is the only cross country race on our calendar and it’s a good opportunity to dust off the cobwebs from Christmas and New Years.

It’s also that time of year where the AGM takes place and we would like to see as many representatives from all the companies so you can voice your opinions and suggestions on how we can improve things. After all, without you there is no BHAA. You can nominate new members for the committee and put forward any motions by emailing us at register@corkbhaa.com or via message on our Facebook page. The AGM takes place in the Commons Inn on Thursday Jan 10th at 8pm.
