20260531 – Cork City Marathon
Good representation at the Cork City Marathon this morning with 6 full marathon, 7 half-marathon and 7 10k participants. A mixture of sunshine, with a little scatter of rain in part and a healthy breeze at times, meant the runners were treated to good running conditions.
Well done to all on their training block, their race execution, and enjoy the R&R in the coming days
