The club holds a low key race series every May over the following distances…1 mile, 2 miles, 3 miles and a 4 x 1 mile relay event. The purpose of the series is to generate some more activity and give locals and beginners a chance to take part in a low key event.
1 mile……The 1 mile course starts on the road to Cashel (R691) and is mostly on a quiet country road to the south-west of village…

2 mile…This race starts just south-west of the village on the road to Killenaule. It then turns off right on the road for Cashel before returning on a quiet road to the finish line near Ballynonty again.

3 mile….The 3 mile course starts in the village and heads north-east towards New Birmingham. At 1.5 miles out that road, runners turn and run 1.5 miles back to finish in the village again.
4 x 1 mile relay….This is only race that isn’t in Ballynonty itself. The relay takes place in a location known as Laffansbridge which is 3 miles from Ballynonty on the road to Cashel (R691). The race is on a 1.3 mile loop on a very quiet country road. Teams of 4 complete one loop each.
Post race refreshments and prize giving after the final relay race is in the community centre in Ballynonty.
