These ‘no frills’ evening races have proved to be a tremendous success in recent times, with numbers increasing year on year, and are a great opportunity to achieve personal goals in a relaxed environment.

Mayo AC have tried to maintain the casual element to the set-up to make the experience suitable to all runners regardless of ability.

The Mayo AC annual 5k Road Race Series serves as a major part of the club’s fundraising activities. Your support is greatly appreciated.
