Details about the 2014 Ballycotton Summer Series...

The Ballycotton Summer Series is the oldest road race series in the country and it's hugely popular every year. The dates and times are always the same...4th Thursday of every month from May to August....Starts at 8pm except for the last one which is 7:30pm.

The one big change this year is the number of t-shirts for women. While the top 50 men in the series have got finishers t-shirts, the women have got 20. As I pointed out in this post last Autumn, the number of women now completing the series is at a level that 30 would be more appropriate. The organisers have now taken this on board and the top 30 women will now get t-shirts.


Every race usually gets around 500 runners so it's advisable to get to each one well before the start time. This map shows the locations of each race...
