In a previous post, I outlined how there were new 2km junior parkruns in the pipeline for Togher, Mallow and Dunmanway. This week, Cork Sports Partnership announced that the Dunmanway event will be starting soon. The venue is at the race field which I believe is at the western edge of the town.
Junior 2k parkruns are for 4-14 year olds and they are held at 9:30am every Sunday morning. All events are free.
As of May 2023, there are four Junior 2k parkruns in Co Cork... Ballincollig, Ballinlough, Gurranabraher and Cobh. Dunmanway will be number five.
It may well act as a seed event for other junior parkruns in West Cork. If a weekly junior parkrun in Dunmanway is a success then why not in Bandon, Clonakilty, Skibbereen or Bantry?
If anyone would like to volunteer or help out at this new event then send an email to matt DOT shields AT parkrun DOT com
