Notice: Cork BHAA PwC Anthony Reidy Memorial 5k in Cork City - Wed 15th Apr 2026

The Cork BHAA PwC 5k in Cork City is coming up on Wednesday the 15th of April 2026 at 7:30pm.

This is always a very popular race and should get a good crowd again as it's centrally located in the heart of Cork City and about as flat a 5k course as you can get. It's also the first evening race of spring 2026 in Cork City!

First off, the race HQ is the PwC building at One Albert Quay. You can enter there on the evening of the race from 6pm. As always, it's €5 for registered BHAA runners and €10 for non-registered.

You can also pre-enter this year... http://www.eventmaster.ie/custom/event/pwc5k

(plus €1 booking fee for Eventmaster)

They will also be giving away PwC mugs to the first 500 people who pre-register online (which can be collected from One Albert Quay on the evening of race).

The race HQ is located just east of Cork City Hall and about 600m from the start line.

This race is officially called the PwC Anthony Reidy Memorial 5k

Course... This is the confirmed route for 2026 and this year, it stays away from the Centre Park Road. The race starts and finishes near Kennedy Park. It goes down Monahan Road, does a loop around the newly refurbished Marina Park  and then back via Monahan Road.

The photos below show part of the course in the new Marina Park. The paths have been widened which means they can now accommodate a 5k race.

The new course also goes past the refurbished Barrington's Folly...

The key thing to remember is that the start and finish lines are near Kennedy Park and about 600m from the race HQ at One Albert Quay. 

As per usual, there will be refreshments post race in One Albert Quay, which is where the BHAA prize-giving will happen.

The organisers have a promo video for the 2026 event and you can view it here... https://vimeo.com/1075341766
