Organised by Eagle AC, in conjunction with Fota
Wildlife Park, and sponsored by John Buckley Sports
and Laya Healthcare , The Cheetah Run will
take
place at 8pm on Thursday May 17th 2012. The 4 mile course will
largely
be
held on private roads entirely within the grounds of Fota Wildlife
Park and the adjacent Fota Estate, and completely off the public roads.
Entries closed automatically on the Run Ireland website, at 20:43 on, Wed May 2nd, when the 800 entries mark was reached.
The speed at which the event sold out was astonishing, even allowing for the popularity of this race, held in spectacular surroundings.
Unfortunately very many people were taken by surprise at how quickly places were snapped up, and missed out. After the dust has settled on this year's event, we will look again at the 800 limit, set largely on safety grounds, with a view to increasing the entry limit.
Before race day, we will be announcing another sponsor company, who will co-sponsor this years event with John Buckley Sports . Plans are taking shape for next year's event, which we hope will incorporate chip timing and a t-shirt/top for participants.
