The numbers this year were about 4.7% up on last year but are still down about a third on the pre-pandemic numbers in 2019. This is most likely because of the very high entry fee of almost €30 for an event where the proceeds don't go to charity.
It's likely that many women are now opting to do the Very Pink Run in Bishopstown instead where all of the entry fee goes to charity.
The Echo is claiming that "more than 4,500" took part but the chip timing results clearly show that it was about 4000.

A disgrace that none of the entry goes to charity!!!, 4k runners @30 euro each=120k euro !!!
, who is getting the money, city council??
This used to be a serious race years ago, now it is no more then a fun run for a certain club.
