Speaking at the launch of the event, Craig Harrington, Athletics Development Officer for Cork
said “We look forward to welcoming everyone to MTU on October 20th. As always, the run has
something for everyone, whether it be the recreational runner or the serious athlete. Like any
other year our team and partners are working hard to make it the biggest & most memorable
Rebel Run to date.”
In advance of the 5km event, over 200 people from 11 different Cork communities are taking part
in Couch to 5k programmes in preparation for the event. These 8-week
tutor led programmes will take place in Bishopstown, Ballincollig, Turners Cross, Whitechurch,
Dunmanway, Glanworth, Kinsale, Macroom, Kanturk, Innishannon, & Glanmire with limited

“It is great to see more communities coming on board for our Couch to 5k programmes each

first ever running event. At Cork Sports Partnership we are very proud of this & hope this
relationship with community running groups grows more and more every year” Craig concluded.
