Hi All
 
This week all attention will focus on the Ballycotton 5 Mile Summer Series - Race 4 of 4 begins in Ballycotton at 7.30pm on Thursday.
A glance at  the Ballycotton Running website is advised for anybody who has completed all 3 races to date as the overall standings feature plenty of Midleton A.C runners. Well done to all and the very best wishes to ou rlarge contingent on Thursday.
Remember the Top 50 men and the Top 20 Ladies receive the coveted t shirts.  There is also a well deserved plaque for all complete the four races.
 
Elsewhere there is a 5K Fun Run/Race in Regional Park, Ballincollig on Sunday next, the Leisureworld 5 Mile Race, the latest addition to the Cork BHAA calendar takes place also in Ballincollig on Wednesday week, whilst the Liscarrol 10K goes ahead on Friday week.  There is also a 5K Fun Run organsied at Inch near Killeagh on Friday week. Then on Wednesday September  5K,the Greenviille House 5K takes place in Carrigtwohill.  Please  see the attached race flyer.
 
With less than three weesk to go to the Cork Half Marathon  in Blarney, you can get more information by logging onto the St Finbarr's AC website. Whilst entries will be taken on the day, it makes it easier for everybody to enter in advance if you intending participating.  The Charleville Half Marathon and the Cork to Cobh Race are other likely options for our Martahon crew who are all putting in a huge effort in advance of Dublin in late October.
 
Please see message below from our ladies captain Sally Drennan re Chi Running. 
 We also congratulate our runners in Sunday's Route To Crook Race, all who performed really well. Special mention to Denis Kelleher who again was amongst the honours, having competed in GAELFORCE, just the day before - take a bow Denis!.
