12,000 multi-coloured balls will race down Patrick’s Hill on Sunday March 15th at 2.00 pm in aid of Cork City/Glanmire/Glounthaune First Responders. Each ball is individually numbered and released from a cage at the top of Patrick's Hill and gathered in a trap at the bottom of the hill - first 6 balls win a prize.
Please note that ball purchases are processed manually so there will be a delay in receiving the email containing your numbers.
Balls bought on the day of the Ball Run may receive their numbers after the event – the ball numbers will have the same chance of winning as any other ball numbers so do not be concerned. Thanks for your support
