Autumn League #3: Regional Park Ballincollig TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH Event Info

Post date: Sep 08, 2018 11:53:59 PM

The third event in the CorkO Autumn League will take place at the Regional Park Ballincollig on Tuesday September 11th.

The park extends along the south bank of the river Lee and the terrain is mixed parkland, with fast grass and path sections, some forest run and some undergrowth. The land was originally part of the Ballincollig Gunpowder Mills and the eastern end of the park is where the many ruins of the old Gunpowder Factory are still visible. Interesting route choice is provided by the limited number of crossing points along the canals and millraces which run throughout the park.

Long course is 4.8km with 19 controls.
