Each year on the Sunday after Paddy’s day, Craughwell Athletic Club hosts a celebration of road running that is the Craughwell 10-Mile Road Race!
This race was established in 2010 heavily inspired by our beloved and sadly-missed Ballycotton 10. On a rural course that is fair and flat by West of Ireland standards men and women of all ages and abilities battle it out to see who can make it to the famous scones as quickly as possible!
There is now also a 10k option for those of the metric persuasion!
