There was a 21% drop in numbers for this years Cork BHAA CPO 5k road race in Mahon in Cork City with 260 runners taking part. That's down almost 50% in three years.
There didn't seem to be any major factors that would impact on the race as the weather was fine and there was no World cup match. It just seems to follow the general trend at the moment of an easing back of the race numbers.
On a positive note, there seemed to be some new names appearing in the top three.
1 Alan O'Shea M1 00:15:25 Mercy Hospital
2 John Meade M2 00:16:05 Joyce Wolfe Physiotherapy
3 Chris O'REILLY M3 00:16:09 Murphy Construction
30 Meadhbh Moynihan F1 00:18:55 Complete Financial F-C-2
40 Breda Gaffney 0/45J F2 00:19:20 Dept 0f Social Protection
60 Fiona Everard 00:19:57 Temp Reg
