It's official, the new 'Midleton Greenway' 5k parkrun is starting at 9:30am on Saturday 1st February 2025!
This will be the eleventh 5k parkrun in Co Cork and joins the Youghal event as the second one in the East Cork region.
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.
It's also worth noting that as the parkrun starts and finishes next to the train station so getting there by train is an option for people living in say Glounthaune or Carrigtwohill.

From Cork Sports Partnership... The inaugural event will take place this Sat, 1st Feb at 9.30am from the Midleton Greenway Car Park at the rear (north side) of Midleton train station. This is an out and back course on Midleton Greenway turning at Fitzfiddler’s Bridge.
