Despite the fact there were several races on in Cork today, the Newmarket 5k got a record turnout of 297 runners, up a whopping 34% on last year. The quality of the field was also particularly high with no fewer than 96 runners breaking 20 minutes. There are very few 5k race where a third of the field breaks 20 mins.
