As you can see from the chart above, it's been doing reasonably well. You can see the tourist season for August in both years when the numbers reach their highest. For the rest of the year, the numbers hover between 25 and 50.
Not only does it attract more visitors to the Island but it will have helped local businesses like the ferry and the café.
If you are interested in going to one then their website is here... http://www.parkrun.ie/bereisland/
The 5k route for the parkrun is also probably one of the most scenic in the country. You can find more info about it on the Bere Island Midsummer Run website... https://bereislandmidsummerrun.wordpress.com/

Is there a ferry over to Bere island early every Saturday morning or do you need to stay on the island the Friday night before?
There is a ferry service back and forth. Have a look at the Midsummer Run website and you should find the links for the two ferries there.
Ferry service on the east and west end of the island. Generally anyone coming in for the run gets the west end ferry and the bus which is organised for runners. Bus returns again afterwards
Congratulations to all involved. Brilliant views and fab people great place to go to relax
