The new Carrigaline 5k parkrun has started and the inaugural event was held on Saturday 17th of October 2026. The first event was a low key event so that it wouldn't be overwhelmed with huge numbers.
The official name of the course is the Cork Harbour Greenway Carrigaline parkrun.
As the map shows above, the parkrun is an out and back course and it's held on the Carrigaline to Crosshaven Greenway and it's about 1.5kms east of the town.
This is a more detailed map of the area.
The car park at the start of the Greenway is reasonably small and the organisers ask all parkrunners to use the much larger car park at the Primary Care Centre. There will be stewards available every Saturday to guide visitors to this car park.
The Primary Care Centre is only a few hundred metres away from the start of the parkrun.
This is the road junction near the parkrun. Parkrun visitors are asked to turn right here for the Primary Care Centre.
You can see the traffic lights ahead where people can cross the road to get to the parkrun.
The course is dead flat and it's basically 2.6 kms out, turn near the car park by the Rabbit Island car park and then 2.4 kms back.
The course is quiet narrow and is only about two metres wide in places. The capacity of the course is about 100 runners so it would help a lot if you could delay your visit to give the numbers a chance to calm down.
