One of the most unusual features again this year is the numbr of women taking part in the 10k. At 69%, it's way higher than the usual 45% or so in most 10k races.

Sorry to learn that numbers are down so drastically. This is a wonderful run and well organised - thank you to all involved. I enjoyed the Half Marathon yesterday - in spite of those hills!
I would suggest that the drop in registrations may have a lot to do with the timing of the event. I was unable to do this run before now because it clashed with the Limerick Half Marathon to which I am very committed. The date was changed this year for the Bay Run, so I was able to do both (though two Half marathons in two weeks was a bit cruel!) However, the change of date pushed the Bay Run closer to the Cork Marathon, which, I suspect, meant a lot of potential runners did not do it. I don't know what the solution is. The running calendar is getting more and more crowded.
I agree with the first comment that the running calendar is getting more crowded, there are an abundance of races on most weeks in Cork County as well as the free Park Runs. I took part in the Bay Run this year, it was very well organised, from registration, number collection, transport to and from start area, bag drop, water stops on route and stewarding. Great course, stunning scenery (not a PB course), beautiful finishers medal, well done to all involved Bay Run, wishing you continued success.
