The Newmarket 5k road race is going from strength to strength with a record 424 runners turning out for this years event, an impressive jump of 26%!
This is in marked contrast to some of the other recent local races which have suffered major drops...( Glenville 4m down 29%, Thomas Kent 10k down 14%). So it's not all doom and gloom, not all local road races are suffering a big drop off in numbers.
For the Newmarket race, there was 191 runners under the 20 minute mark which is huge in terms of a local race in Cork.
