Results of the 5k parkruns in Cork - Sat 2nd May 2026

Results of the 5k parkruns around the county on Saturday 2nd May 2026. Approximately 1221 runners and walkers took part in the 11 events in Co Cork.

Report... The early morning rain had cleared by 9:30am and it turned out to be a pretty nice day for the parkruns this weekend.

We have a tie this week for the person with the most number of finishes. Joanne Sullivan on Bere Island is at 485 and Mark Burr, a visitor from the UK at the Glengarriff parkrun is also on 485.

Tramore Valley Park... Tramore Valley celebrated its 200th event this weekend! If we go back ten years to May 2016 then the parkrun in Tramore Valley Park had been cancelled by Cork City Council after just 15 events. Little did we know then that it would take until July of 2022 before it would restart. 

At times, it looked as if it would never come back so getting to 200 editions now is a big deal.

Ballincollig... Ann Dalzell was a visitor from the UK and she completed her 200th parkrun in Ballincollig. Local Seamus Lankford reached the century mark with 94 of them being at the Ballincollig event.

Macroom... Well done to Kevin Lynch who completed his 250th parkrun this weekend! Kevin did the 250 parkruns in 67 different locations with 72 in Macroom, 53 in Ballincollig and 21 at Tramore Valley Park.

If I missed anyone who passed a notable milestone like 100, 200, 250 or above parkruns then let me know.
