The Cheetah Race at Fota Wildlife Park
Eagle Athletic Club's 2023 fundraising journey has been a resounding success, with the spotlight firmly on the unforgettable Cheetah Race held at Fota Wildlife Park.
This annual 5 km road race & 1-mile juveniles race not only tested participants' stamina & determination but also, we proudly raised an impressive €5,500 for wildlife conservation.

The club competes in road races all year round but in the Autumn we compete in Cross-Country and, during the Spring and Summer, Track and Field.
