Special Early Bird Entry for the Cork City Marathon closes this weekend...

If you are planning to do the Cork City Half-Marathon or full Marathon next June, there is a special early bird option that offers the cheapest possible price. It does however close this weekend!

The special early bird entry form can be downloaded HERE

The entry fee is €60 for the full Marathon and €42 for the Half-Marathon. There is a special 50% discount for those who are unwaged or on benefits. This special offer closes at the end of November.

In December, the prices for hard copy entries increase. The full Marathon will cost €70, the Half-Marathon €45 and the relay will cost €100. The concession prices will be €35, €22.50 and €50 respectively.

It's important to emphasise the 'hard copy' because some people seemed to have got the idea the price goes up by €10 regardless. This is not the case as you always enter online and the prices there are €65 for the Marathon, €42 for the Half and €97 for the Relay. These prices remain static until the 31st of March 2013.

It's safe to say that the Cork City Marathon will be the largest running event in Munster next year.

According to their website the half is 42 euro until the end of March. http://www.corkcitymarathon.ie/entry/ With Belfast a different date now I would say much more people would run the race if it was Easter Monday like before.
