Following the Cork City 10-Miler last Saturday, someone sent on the following message on Sunday with the photos above...
"Any chance you guys can clear up the mess you've left on the old railway line please there are bottles of water strewn everywhere and it's an absolute disgrace the way participants and organisers have left the place."
All race organisers should have a 'Leave No Trace' policy and waste management should be part of the race process. If water bottles are handed out then all discarded bottles and gels should be picked up straight away after the race has finished.
If enough local residents and members of the public complain to the Cork City Council about post race littering then the easiest solution is for the Council to ban all races on Greenways and walkways. Something to consider.

The final litter cleanup after the race happened on Sunday morning, all those bottles were collected before 10.00.
