The Bob Burke 4 Mile, organized by Grange Fermoy AC, follows a rural loop through the local countryside, primarily on quiet, paved roads. The terrain is largely level with some light, rolling elevations, making it a manageable and scenic run through the agricultural landscape of North Cork. Starting at 8pm, the main event is open to athletes aged 16 or more on the day of the race, and also features a juvenile mile race for children aged 6 to 15 which starts at 7:30pm.
