Results of the Cork BHAA J&J Innovative Medicine 5k - Sun 8th Feb 2026


The Cork BHAA J&J Innovative Medicine 5k was held in Little Island on Sun 8th Feb 2026 and attracted a field of 352 runners. This is the same race as the previous Janssen 5k as that company has changed its name to the parent company.

The numbers are down about 15% on last year and as the chart shows above, it's a case of the numbers returning to the 2024 levels. It's perhaps another sign that the numbers for the BHAA races have now levelled off as shown in this previous post.

Did my first bit of stewarding (impromptu) this morning. It’s always beneficial to see the ‘other side’, what some people do for our regular pleasure. For me, I see this as a way of keeping my head ‘in the game’ as age has been chipping away at other abilities. Thanks BHAA😀

Thanks for volunteering and helping out this morning. It is very much appreciated by all at the BHAA and the runners alike. Fair play.
