Due to extensive flooding damage, the Glen River 5k parkrun on Sat 21st Oct 2023 has been cancelled.
Update 20th Oct: Mallow Castle and Ballincollig cancelled as well.
As you can seen from the photo above, the deluge of water on the 18th and 19th of October not only flooded large sections of the Glen River park but some of the paths were badly damaged.
Cork City Council are working on repairing the path but it's not going to be ready by Saturday.
Note that other parkruns may also be cancelled on Saturday so be sure to check before traveling.
The image above shows the water levels of the Glen River for the last five weeks. The flooding on the 19th of Oct was at records levels.
Even in dry weather, some parts of the 5k route are not that far above the level of the small lake and the photo above shows the route underwater.
