Cork Floods...Dec 2015

As most of you are well aware, many areas in Cork City and County have been hit by the recent floods. This includes some of the usual popular running spots.

This is the walkway on the old railway line in Blackrock which has a lot of standing water on it...

This is the Regional Park in Ballincollig...

There is rain forecast every day for the next few days so flooding is never going to be too far away. If you are going for a run then keep it local. If you intend traveling to a race then make sure it's on. A lot of roads have been damaged so don't assume anything.

Updates
31st Dec @11am....Info from Bandon AC on their 5 mile race on New Years Day... "New Year's Day 5 mile road race. A decision will be made later today whether the race will go ahead or not. In the meantime, we me must plan as if it is .. We will let everyone know ASAP as soon as the route is checked there maybe a change to the last mile and half will keep everyone updated thanks"

31st Dec @12:30pm....Passage to Rochestown walkway is closed between Hop Island and Roberts bridge to facilitate flood reduction measures (Update...It's just closed so that several pumps can operate. Perfectly safe to use and a lot safer than the footpath next to the main road).

1st Jan @8am.....The Bandon 5 mile race is going ahead with a slightly modified course. Reg at GAA grounds. Looks likely that it will be wet for the race and most of the day.

    Where do you register for it?

    Is the start line as per the preview from a few years ago?

    Reg at GAA grounds which is about 800m from the start line and a mile from the finish. Expect rain.
