The parkrun organisation have a number of milestones from 25 to 500 parkruns. The thing about milestones is that they are open to everyone and anyone can aspire to reach a certain level.
A number of people have recently passed the 250 mark and it's a significant achievement as it takes at least five years to complete. Thanks to all those who sent on updates and corrections.
Cork 250 Rules... As with any list, there must be some sort of guideline or rules. The criteria I went with are simple...
- At least 100 of the 5k parkruns must be in Co Cork
- Only the information on the parkrun website counts
I'm sure there are plenty of people in Dublin and elsewhere who over 250 but this post is about the parkruns in Cork.

Cork runners who have completed 250 or more 5k parkruns Club - Q2 2025... The end of June 2025 was the end of Q2 so it's time to check up on who is on the 250 plus parkrun list.
Joanne Sullivan continues to lead the charge with 440 5k parkruns completed and is on track to reach the magic 500 mark sometime in the autumn of 2026.
The one change in the top 3 is Finola Crowley jumps into third place so Bere Island now fills the top three spots.
The only addition to the top 250 list is Enda Kiernan of the Macroom parkrun so the list now has 47 names.
Needless to say, it's the army of parkrun volunteers that keep the show on the road and the 'super volunteers' have 250 or more credits.
The change in the top three is that Maretta Brennan of the Ballincollig parkrun now moves up into second place. The volunteer list grows by two to thirteen with Donal O'Donoghue of the Glen River parkrun and Pawel Switaj of the Ballincollig parkrun joining.
