Mystery race number in the post...

Someone sent on a photo of the race number /bib that they received from MyRunResults during the week. The name and address on the envelope was written by hand as opposed to a printed label and there is no indication whatsoever as to what race the bib is for.

I've blanked out the persons details as they're not relevant but the ID for the race is 6707. Looking the MyRunResults website, it's not obvious which race this is.

I checked the QR Code and it goes to some strange website. The postmark is from Drogheda so it looks the same as other MyRunResults postmarks.

The problem is that some people enter numerous races and there can be a regular stream of race bib being delivered... some for races in the next week and some for weeks in advance. Without the race name on the envelope or bib, they have no idea of knowing what race the bib is for.

The Cork BHAA J&J Innovative Medicine 5k was held in Little Island on Sun 8th Feb 2026 and attracted a field of 352 runners. This is the same race as the previous Janssen 5k as that company has changed its name to the parent company.

The numbers are down about 15% on last year and as the chart shows above, it's a case of the numbers returning to the 2024 levels. It's perhaps another sign that the numbers for the BHAA races have now levelled off as shown in this previous post.

Guest Post: Lifebuoy ...by Pat Walsh

 * Lifebuoy *

Last Sunday I ran in Dungarvan at the John Treacy 10 mile race. First long run in 14 months. The sun shone and I was pleased. It was slow but honest, running every step of the way. It was the 1st of February, the start of Spring and it was a glorious sunny day to match my cheery disposition. Thanks Sheila and Anna for the team-tagging to get me around.

Great to meet so many friendly faces again and thanks to the organisers for another fantastic event. It gets better every year and getting 3000 runners around the course and over the line without a snag is a testimony to your professionalism. 

Injuries happen but if you honestly believe in yourself you will find a way back. Giving up wasn’t an option. Expectations will have to change, patience is needed by the bucket load and the watch will become an irrelevance bar logging your mileage. You must learn to ignore what others are doing and just focus on yourself and what you can and can’t do. 

What is ahead? Not sure. One thing I have learned (finally) is that after any prolonged effort of training and achieving a goal race, then the next step is a rest. Too many of us, myself included, ploughed straight into the next Big Thing without any sort of recovery built into a plan.

You will go backwards, that is in no doubt, but ultimately you cannot move forward if you don’t allow the body to rest, little niggles to clear up and build up reserves for whatever lies ahead.

Am I justifying my resting or taking a week off because the weather has turned s***e again. You decide?

New Year ahead and so much to look forward to. Make your plan, dream your dreams and get out there. No-one can do it for you, only yourself.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Have a lovely weekend and if you are running don’t forget a lifebuoy and a snorkel.

The course is pretty reasonable with a gentle climb although it does have a bit of a see-saw finish...

There are two small hills at the end which while a bit testing are also quite short. An action packed last km! :o)

This is a video of the course from a few years ago...

Notice: Midleton Greenway 10-mile race - Sun 8th March 2026

The second running of the Midleton Greenway 10 Mile Race will take place on the new Midleton to Mogeely Greenway on Sunday March 8th 2026, at 11am.

Entries: You can enter online HERE

Entry Fee: €30 (+ booking fee). Please Note: Entries Limited

Online entries close midnight Thurs 5th March

The map above shows the route and it really is dead flat. The race starts at the start of the Midleton Greenway, goes as far as the old railway station in Mogeely and then turns back.

The turnaround point in Mogeely is shown below...

The route crosses one small country road and this will be manned by stewards. A view of the Greenway is shown below...

Nice and quiet. You run on the left on the way out, you run on the left on the way back.

It's also worth mentioning that this is a fundraiser for a new athletics track in the East Cork region.

The group behind this is CEASC - Cork East Athletic Sporting Community. This is a big project and will take years before it's completed but this event will help to promote and fund the project.

Just one more thing. Everything is very close for the race. The race HQ is the GAA club which is across the road from the railway station. You go through the railway station and over the footbridge and you're at the start of the Midleton Greenway. More info below...

Info from the organisers.... Our second undertaking of this 10-mile race, takes place on Sunday, March 8th on the Midleton to Mogeely Greenway (that's 5 miles out and back).  This flat, fast course, with course records set by Michael Harty (50mins 16 secs) and Hannah Steeds (57 mins 33 sec) in last year’s inaugural race, will yet again attract athletes from near and far.

A vibrant atmosphere is guaranteed along the race course, and the safety of the Greenway is ideal for families to come along and support competitors on the day.

But this isn't just another race; all proceeds will go towards delivering a regional athletic sporting hub to, and for, all communities of Cork East. This sporting hub will provide all weather and all year round, fully inclusive spaces, delivering opportunities for all ages and all abilities to enhance their physical and mental health, build friendships and strengthen communities through competitive and recreational sport.

Lead group at the turnaround point in the 2025 race

Our team of race organisers have been busy planning this race for the past few months and are delighted with the support from Cork County Council, Iarnród Éireann and our race sponsor Eirgrid.

This is an Athletics Ireland registered event, hosted by hosted by Aghada Running Club in association with CEASC.

Route: The race will start on the new Greenway which is on the north side of the Midleton train station (Eircode: P25 RX85). Participants will then head east along the Greenway to Mogeely where they will turn and return to Midleton. This is as fast a course as you could get.

Start Area: Midleton Greenway at North Side of Midleton Train Station

Race HQ & Registration: Race HQ, Registration and Post Race Refreshments will be Midleton GAA Club (Eircode: P25 TD73) which is directly opposite the main entrance to Midleton Train Station.

Main Entrance to Midleton Train Station &  Race HQ Midleton GAA Club

Midleton 5k parkrun is 1-year old

The Midleton 5k parkrun started on the 2nd of February 2025 and it is now one year old! The numbers are shown in the chart above and it really has been a great success. Let's have a look at some stats.

a) The first event had 636 finishers.

b) There were 51 events in the first year and the average number of finishers per week for the full year was 165.

c) The most obvious aspect of the chart is the large initial surge in numbers. If we take out the first four events, we get an average of almost 147 for the rest.

d) Looking at the chart, it seems to take about 8 weeks for the novelty factor to wear off so if we ignore those first 8-weeks then we get an average of about 140. This could probably be considered to be what the real average is for the event at present. 

e) Looking back at my own stats, I put up two posts on the blog about this parkrun starting... one in Dec of 2024 and one in Jan of 2025. The associated posts I put up on the Running in Cork Facebook page got about 43,000 and 89,600 views respectively. It's obvious that there was a lot of interest in this new event in Midleton.

The 'Surge Problem'... This is a problem facing new 5k parkruns starting up near urban areas.

Parkrun tourism is a thing and some people will travel far and wide to take part in inaugural events. Hence, the huge spike of 636 finishers.

Add to that, you have the novelty factor as people try out a new parkrun for the first time to see what it like. In the case of Midleton, it seems to have taken about 8-weeks for this to end and for the numbers to level off at a more natural level.

Problems... The caveat here is that the Midleton example is a sample size of one but it's a useful template for what other new events would experience.

a) Parking... Can a new event cope with the influx of cars for the inaugural event and the first few weeks?

b) Course capacity... Is the course wide enough to cope with all of those people for the first few weeks? 

c) Volunteers... While experienced volunteers from nearby parkruns are likely to help out with the start of a new parkrun, the core team of any new parkrun are a group of people learning the ropes while the numbers are at their highest.

The big numbers put a lot of stress on the system... timekeepers trying to count all finishers, the person trying hand out all the finish tokens, the funnel person trying to keep everyone in sequence and all of the barcode scanners trying to record everyone.

Solution???... I have heard that some new parkruns try to keep the inaugural event quiet and not to announce it in advance. A small number of local people know about it and they manage to get the first event completed without any big numbers or drama.

It's only a partial solution however as after the inaugural event, the cat is out of the bag and the novelty factor kicks in.

Looking forward, there's talk of a new 5k parkrun in Carrigaline and they are likely to experience some of the same issues as Midleton.

At least these are 'good problems' to have, it would be worse if the numbers were so poor that there weren't enough volunteers for an event to be viable or carry on.

Results & Photos of the John Treacy Dungarvan 10-mile road race - Sun 1st Feb 2026

In contrast to some previous years, the weather was stunning for this years John Treacy Dungarvan 10-mile road race with blue skies and sunshine. Almost 3000 runners took to roads for this race in west Waterford, the largest of its kind in Munster.

Despite what the final times might suggest, there was a real tussle in the men's race for first place. From my elevated vantage point, I could see that at about 9.5 miles that both Jake O'Regan and Killian Moon were running together. However as you can see from the photo I took above with about 450m to go, Jake had opened up a commanding lead on the final hill.

In the women's race, Emily Sisson from the US was the clear winner with a time of 53m 22s. Emily has a marathon best time of 2h 18m.
