The St Mary's Campus Junior 2km parkrun in Gurranabraher started on the 2nd of April 2023 and the event next Sunday will be its 18th edition.
The numbers for each week are shown above but as you can see, the turnout has been pretty low. In July, just 4 and 7 kids took part on two respective Sundays.
It looked like the event next Sunday the 3rd of Sept would be cancelled due to a lack of volunteers but in the end, they managed to get a team together after an appeal.
Considering that this is the only junior parkrun on the northside of Cork City, it should really be getting much larger numbers. The map below shows what areas are within 2kms of the parkrun and there must be thousands of 4-14 year old's in the catchment area.
I suspect the main reason that the numbers are so low is that people just don't know about it.
If you think your kids might be interested then it's on every Sunday at 9:30am and it's free.
