Results of the 5k parkruns in Cork - Sat 25th Apr 2026



Results of the 5k parkruns around the county on Saturday 25th April 2026. Approximately 1274 runners and walkers took part in the 11 events in Co Cork.

Report... The overnight rain had cleared in plenty of time for this weeks 5k parkruns in Co Cork. The satellite photo shows blue skies and sunshine in Cork City, Mallow and in the east of the county while it cloudier in west Cork.

The person in Co Cork with the highest number of parkruns this week is Joanne Sullivan on Bere Island with 484 finishes.

Tramore Valley Park... Tramore Valley turned out to be the largest parkrun this week with 302 finishers. This is the 4th time this year it has passed the 300 mark.

Well done to Jannie Burger who completed her 100th 5k parkrun! 50 of these were at Tramore Valley with 47 in Ballincollig.

Castlehaven... Frances Lynch completed her 200th 5k parkrun with 134 of these at the Castlehaven event.

Ballincollig... Wow! Well done to Maretta Brennan who becomes the first person in Cork to earn 500 parkrun volunteer credits! Maretta has been volunteering at the 5k parkrun and 2k junior parkrun events to amass this total.



At the same event, Donal Fennessy completed his 300th parkrun! 274 of these were in Ballincollig.



Brian Murphy who is in the SM18-19 category completed his 100th parkrun with 99 of these being in Ballincollig.

If there were no volunteers then there would be no parkruns so it's important to recognise Donna Peyton who earned her 100th volunteer credit!



Midleton... There was a huge jump in numbers for the Midleton parkrun this week with friends of the late Ann Kelleher taking part in memory of her. This was the third highest turnout ever for this event and the Midleton event was the second highest in Cork this weekend.
