We are now midway through May, and one of the busiest months of the year shows no sign of slowing down, with a healthy mix of midweek evening races and weekend morning events across nearly every distance still open for entry.
Here is your latest look at races taking place around Ireland over the coming week starting from today:
Featured Race
Coláiste Mhuire 6K – Tipperary – May 17th
One of those lovely local races that's rooted in the community, the Coláiste Mhuire 6K in Thurles offers great value at just €15. Finishing outside the iconic Semple Stadium, the route takes runners around the town with what should be a lively local turnout. Ideal for anyone looking for a straightforward, affordable Sunday morning race without all the fuss.
