The annual Humphrey Murphy Memorial 5K Road Race will be held in Castleisland on the coming Friday evening.

The registration and starting point will, as usual, be on Limerick Road at 6:30pm for registrations before the 7pm start.

Medals for all participants and prizes for all class winners including the Humphrey Murphy Memorial Cup for the winner.

Run, Walk or Jog

As well as the serious competitors, the event always attracts the fans of the ‘run, walk or jog’ means of passing an evening and they too will have their medals waiting for them and the finish on Main Street. Entry fees: €10 per individual and €20 per family.

All Proceeds to Glebe Lodge

All proceeds will go to Glebe Lodge Residential Care in honour of the late Boherbue, Co. Cork native and Castleisland resident Humphrey as this was his favourite charity.
