Blackwater 10 Mile
The inaugural Blackwater 10 mile road race was held in Clondulane near Fermoy on Sunday the 17th of May 2015. For a first outing, it attracted a field of 327 runners which is an excellent turnout.
The course itself was really split up into two halves. The first 5 miles had a gradual uphill while there was plenty of downhill running in the second half. Overall people seemed to find it a rather tough course and the times reflect that. Despite the tough course all our runners acquitted themselves well with fine runs.
