The Mealagh Valley is located to the north-east of Bantry in Co.Cork.
This secluded valley has a very active community which is centred on the local community centre.
The valley also has its own website… http://www.mealaghvalley.com/
Many of the local residents help out on the day of the race and its running would not be possible without their generous help. Bantry AC in turn donates part of the proceeds each year to community based projects in the valley.
