Halloween Spooky 5km

Immerse yourself in the haunting beauty of Gleneskin Woods for the Kilworth 5k, an exhilarating nighttime race through one of Cork's most enchanting forest trails. The course winds along rugged terrain with ascents ranging from 600 meters to over a kilometer, offering runners both challenge and breathtaking views under starlit skies.
Located just outside Kilworth village, participants will follow yellow Avondhu way-markers leading to Glensheskin Wood, where the race begins at the car park near the bridge. With limited parking available, organizers strongly encourage carpooling to avoid congestion on race day.
The Kilworth 5k promises a unique and atmospheric experience as runners navigate through dense woods by nightfall. As you tackle the moderate terrain, enjoy the serene surroundings and feel the thrill of pushing your limits in this enchanting setting.
