'Back Underway' 10k run in Kilcormac later this month

Kilcormac Killoughey A.C. is one of the newest athletic clubs within Offaly Athletics. The club was established in March 2019 after a very successful C25K programme. Last year due to Covid 19 restrictions the Offaly Road Race series was cancelled and Kilcormac Killoughey A.C. missed out on the opportunity to host a race in their locality.

This year, however, the club is very excited to launch their inaugural ‘Back Underway 10k’ run on Sunday, August 29 starting at 10am.

The run will start and finish at the GAA Faithful Fields, Centre of Excellence and will bring the competitors around the roads of Kilcormac and Ballyboy. The route offers plenty of challenges, scenic views and the opportunity to meet and see friends that we have missed due to the lack of any road race events.

The run will be chip timed by JustRuns Events and there are prizes for the 1st and 2nd Male and Female Home and for 29th place home.

The cost to enter is €17 which includes post and package of race number. There are no entries on the day due to Covid 19 guidelines so registration must be done on line at www.justrunsevents.com and will close on Monday, August 23 to allow race numbers to be posted in advance.

The Back Underway 10k starts at The Faithful Fields, Kilcormac, Co. Offaly. R42 FX97 on Sunday, August 29 at 10am

Who is Coming: Runners from around the county and further afield are being invited to take part.
