A grand total of 952 people took part in 5k parkrun in the county of Cork last Saturday (12th Jan 2019). The chart above shows the breakdown for each of the parkruns for the last three weeks.
With its record numbers last week, Ballincollig is pretty much the flagship event with 533 taking part.
The Glen River parkrun on the north side of Cork City has lots of potential as it's close to where a lot of runners live. Last weekend, it got 109 and has plenty of potential to attract more.
The ones that caught my eye was the Glengarriff parkrun in West Cork. They had 70 participants in an area where the population is pretty low. It just goes to show that once a parkrun starts, people are willing to travel to it.
Add in the 400 odd from the 5k Cork BHAA race in Little Island on Sunday and the big numbers at the Corrin Hill trail race near Fermoy and somewhere in the region of 1,400 to 1,500 people took part in a running event last weekend.
