About the event

The Great Heath Run returns on January 17, 2027, offering runners the chance to explore scenic country roads at either the 5K or 10K distance. Both races are chip-timed for accurate results and feature a well-established course that winds through peaceful countryside. As in previous years, part of your entry fee will support a local charity (to be announced).
Participants can park, change clothes, use facilities including toilets and showers, and enjoy post-race refreshments at the Heath GAA Club. Race day registration opens at 9:00 AM for those who prefer to sign up on-site.
Online entries are available through Popupraces.ie with discounted rates compared to same-day registration. The event promises a welcoming atmosphere and memorable finish line festivities, making it an ideal start to the new year running season.
The Great Heath Run invites you to lace up your shoes for a morning of exercise followed by camaraderie and comfort at the club's facilities.
