The Cork BHAA Cork Mental Health 5k was held in Little Island on Wed 30th Aug 2023 with 360 crossing the finish line. The numbers are well up on last year when it was held on a Sunday morning in mid-November so it seems that moving to an evening race was the right choice.

A snapshot of the junior 2k parkruns in Cork - Sun 27th Aug 2023

The inaugural 2km junior parkrun in Clashduv Park in Togher in Cork City was held on Sunday 27th Aug 2023 with 46 participants. For a wet Sunday morning, it was a good turnout.

In the graphic above, you can see the numbers for all seven junior parkruns in Co Cork on the 27th of August 2023.

The Dromlena Lawn junior parkrun in Dunmanway in West Cork had 43 finishers and this was just their 3rd event. Their long term average is 45. Looking at the population stats, there are 17 larger towns in Co Cork so there must be scope for more junior parkruns in the county.

The Mallow Castle junior parkrun now has 12 events with 38 taking part last Sunday. It's long term average is 63.

St Mary's Health Campus junior parkrun had 26 finishers for their 17th event. Their long term average 51 but has been very low on occasions in the last few weeks. For an event in Gurranabraher on the northside of Cork City, it needs more support.

The Nursery Drive junior parkrun in Ballinlough had 26 finishers with a long term average of 51. It was their 22nd outing.

The Ballincollig junior parkrun is well established now with 114 events under its belt. They had 82 finishers in the local regional park with a long term average of 97.

The oldest junior parkrun in Co Cork is in Cobh and it's now on its 176th event. It had 17 finishers which is lower than their long term average of 51.

All of these junior parkruns are for 4-14-year olds, are completely free and are held at 9:30am every Sunday morning. You can find links to all of the events on this page.
