Running events this weekend in Cork - Sat 7th & Sun 8th March 2020

There are plenty of events to choose from this weekend in Cork and Munster with multiple 5k parkruns on Saturday as well as three 10-milers and a 5k & 10k in Crosshaven on Sunday.

In terms of the weather forecast, it should be overcast but for the various 5k parkruns on Saturday in Cork and Munster. Please note that the Ballincollig parkrun is going ahead this week after being cancelled for the last two weeks due to flooding.

For Sunday, the forecast is for sunshine and showers for the various races. The further west you go the higher the chance of showers so it may well be dry in places like Crosshaven and Dunhill, Waterford where as there might be a shower or two in Newmarket.

For all races on Sunday, there will be a strong westerly breeze. This may well be a factor in say the first half of the Crosshaven 10k and Newmarket 10k.
