The parkrun organisation have a number of milestones from 25 to 500 parkruns. The thing about milestones is that they are open to everyone and anyone can aspire to reach a certain level.
A number of people have recently passed the 250 mark and it's a significant achievement as it takes at least five years to complete. At the end of March 2023, I compiled a list of runners and volunteers in Co Cork who have passed the magic figure. Post HERE
Thanks to all those who sent on updates and corrections.
Cork 250 Rules... As with any list, there must be some sort of guideline or rules. The criteria I went with were simple...
- At least 100 of the 5k parkruns must be in Co Cork
- Only the information on the parkrun website counts
I'm sure there are plenty of people in Dublin and elsewhere who over 250 but this post is about the parkruns in Cork.

Cork runners who have completed 250 or more 5k parkruns Club - Q4 2024... Here is the updated list of people who have done 250 or more parkruns in Cork as of the end of December 2024...
Back at the end of Sept 2024, the list went from 27 to 33 and it has now increased to 41 names.
At the end of Q3, Joanne Sullivan of Bere Island was the only person to break the 400 mark. By the end of Q4, three more have passed 400... two from Bere Island and one at Macroom.
The number of people at 300 or above has gone from 17 to 23 and a few have passed the 300 mark under the radar.
This is the list of volunteers who have 250 or more credits...
Again, Bere Island is very much to the fore with the volunteer list with 5 names. Ballincollig is now up to 3 names. Castlehaven and Glen River have one name each.
Volunteers are literally the glue that keep the parkruns going week after week... no volunteers - no parkruns.
