There is a few races over the Christmas period which might be done to burn off the Christmas dinner. The first of these races in on in Belgooly on the 26th of December at 12pm. It is a 4 mile race and a nice way to enjoy St.Stephens day.
If you think St.Stephens day is too soon to be running after the Christmas dinner there is also another race on in Bandon on the 28th of December. This race starts at 11am and is 5 miles. Two great races to look forward over Christmas thats if you can pull yourself away from the presents that Santa brought.
