A year ago three former race winners led the honours list as Leevale's Ryan Creech won the race for the second time in a new course record of 19:05, getting the better of Sean Doyle of Cork City AC by 16 seconds, with East Cork's Michael Harty finishing third in a high class field. Fiona Everard of Bandon AC, made a winning debut at the venue to take the ladies honours and has since gone on to enjoy a stellar cross country season at home and away. In total exactly 1,200 finishers were recorded, the second highest in the history of the race.

Now all systems go for 2026, with year 15 set to offer another top quality athletics occasion at the picturesque location. The usual comprehensive prize list awaits again on Thursday April 23rd. A final reminder - don't forget its 7.45pm start time.
