Good news! A new 5km parkrun will be starting in Midleton in a few weeks time!
This will be the eleventh 5k parkrun in Co Cork and joins the Youghal event as the second one in the East Cork region.
For any new runners reading this, this will be held every Saturday morning at 9:30am and it's free.
The 5k parkrun will start on the new Greenway which is on the north side of the train station in Midleton. Participants will then head east and they will turn near the road junction which is shown in the photo above.
The course is dead flat and is really about as fast a course as you could want. The only slow part is the turn around point.
Considering we're now in the middle of November, it usually takes a few weeks to organise things so we're probably looking at a start date in January of 2025.
It's also worth noting that as the parkrun starts and finishes next to the train station, getting there by train is an option for people living in say Glounthaune or Carrigtwohill.
The organisers are also looking for more volunteers to help out. If interested, send an email to john DOT kissane AT parkrun DOT com and he will put you in touch with the event director there.
