Tracton AC 4 Mile Road Race 2026

The Tracton AC 4 Mile Road Race is held on a chip-timed, professionally measured course in the village of Minane Bridge, approximately 20km south of Cork city near Carrigaline. Race headquarters are at Tracton Arts and Community Centre, with the start and finish line located approximately 500 metres uphill from the venue — runners should allow around 15 minutes to walk up from HQ. The course follows scenic country roads in the south Cork countryside, skirting the stunning coastline of the area. The terrain is rolling with some undulation typical of the south Cork landscape. The route is run on quiet rural roads and is held under an Athletics Ireland permit. An evening race held in July, it attracts a strong field and has developed a loyal following since its launch. Cash prizes are offered across all main male and female categories.
