The main race in Co.Cork this weekend is of course the Charleville Half-Marathon on Sunday but there are plenty of other events to choose from. The current forecast is for a ridge of high pressure to be over the country on Saturday so it should be fine and dry. On Sunday, there is a cold front crossing over so it's likely to be overcast and possibly wet. The rain shouldn't last too long though but it just depends on what time it arrives. The wind on both days is likely to be light.
On Saturday morning, there are the various 5k parkruns with the one in Ballincollig likely to get big numbers again. Don't forget there are plenty of other ones to choose from especially if you're in West Cork.
The parkrun in Glengarriff only got 9 runners when the weather was bad two weeks ago and they were actually outnumbered by the 10 volunteers. Unless local runners support these parkruns then they are likely to stop.
