This 5k race has a new route for 2024 due to road works on the Marina. The new route is completely flat so expect a fast 5k time here. The race starts on the railway line walkway which is accessed by passing St Michael’s Church and taking a left onto the Line. The race heads towards Rochestown, over the flyover and then turns left finishing in Blackrock Castle car park.

Registration takes place in Cork Boat Club from 6.30pm which is where the post-race refreshments and prize giving take place. There will also be spot prizes on the night. The race itself starts at 8pm so try to avoid entering too late.
