Eagle AC is delighted to announce the return of the 35th annual Tommy Ryan Memorial, Carrigaline 5 Mile Road Race, on February 18th 2024 at 11am.
Registrations open on NEW YEARS DAY: https://eventmaster.ie/event/3bZmIx4tZW
The race will take place over the usual course. It's one of Corks longstanding race routes, where every mile tells a story, and Carrigaline always lends itself to some exciting head-to-head battles. Whether your skills lie in the uphill’s, the down hills, or the flat road speed to the finish line, Carrigaline has it all.
Last year there was a race against the clock with Lizzie Lee, Leevale AC running a superb race to break the 28-minute course bonus for the ladies and Pat Hennessy of Waterford AC narrowly missing out on the men’s 25-minute course bonus. Despite a brave effort on the day that 25 min barrier remains standing.
