The Ulster scene has joined Munster and Leinster in cancelling road races due to the coronavirus.
North Pole CC's St Patrick's Day races, that were due to take place in Burt, Co Donegal, have been called off.
That cancellation comes after Clonard Road Club called off Rás Naomh Finian this Saturday in Co Kildare and the St Patrick's Day Races due to be held by Carrick Wheelers in Carrick-on-Suir.
North Pole CC last night issued a brief statement confirming its events were off.
"It is with deep regret that the committee of the North Pole CC have decided, in the interest of public health, to cancel all of its races planned for St Patrick’s Day," it said.
"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to participants, officials and volunteers, but this decision has not been taken lightly.
"Anyone that has registered online will be contacted in the coming days with respect to a full refund."
