Preview of the Fota House & Gardens 5k.....

This 5k race is part of the Rebel Run4Fun 5k Series organised by Cork Sports Partnership.

Fota is located about 10 miles by road from Cork City on the road to Cobh.


The entrance to Fota is just before Belvelly Bridge...

Fota is broken into three area. To the south-west, there is Fota Wildlife Par. To the North East, there is Fota Island Resort with its golf course. Fota House and Gardens are located in between and are open to the public.

This is a rough outline of the course....

There are two out and back sections and the course is on smooth tarmac surface. The photos below give some idea of what the route is like...

Fota House











Overall......Flat course in a very quiet scenic area. No cars or traffic. Narrow paths in second half of course but field should have thinned out by then. Suitable for small numbers.
