This year's Grant Thornton 5k road race in Cork City has seen a jump in numbers with 642 finishers, about the same as back in 2016. While not as good as 2017, 2018 or 2019, it was well up on the figure for 2022.
This commercial race is used as a fundraiser by Athletics Ireland and at €35 per individual, it's the most expensive 5k race on the calendar.
It was unfortunate that it was held in more or less the same location just 24 hours before the Cork BHAA Musgraves 5k race which was on the calendar since the start of the year.
