There were four 5k parkruns in Co Cork on Christmas Day and it's safe to say that it has become a tradition for many people. Just as some people head to the coast to do a Christmas swim, there's a large number of runners who start off their day with a 5k parkrun.
Ballincollig - There were huge numbers out for the Christmas Day parkrun in Ballincollig Regional Park with 520 participants crossing the finish line, up from 473 last year. Just out of interest, 520 is the 8th largest number for Ballincollig.
Fair play to the 33 volunteers for making the event a success, it's not easy dealing with that volume of people in a relatively small space.
