Visually impaired runner Ross Gallagher completes all 11 parkruns in Co Cork

Ross Gallagher with guide runner Proinnsias O'Keeffe

Visually impaired runner Ross Gallagher from Kerry is a regular at the road races and parkruns in Co Cork. On Saturday the 11th of July 2026, Ross completed the grand slam of eleven parkruns in Co Cork when he completed the event on Bere Island!

Clonakilty was his first parkrun in Co Cork back in November of 2023 and Bere Island in July of 2026 was number eleven.

This is a list of the parkruns in Co Cork that Ross has completed...

11. Bere Island 11/07/2026 553 47 29:39 
10. Pobalscoil na Tríonóide 28/02/2026 199 43 29:47 
9. Mallow Castle 27/12/2025 210 40 27:03 
8. Glen River 15/11/2025 285 42 29:48 
7. Tramore Valley 05/07/2025 160 94 27:30 
6. Castlehaven 03/05/2025 410 25 37:44 
5. Glengarriff 12/04/2025 395 19 28:50 
4. Midleton Greenway 01/02/2025 1 213 27:17 
3. Ballincollig 20/07/2024 333 99 26:47 
2. Macroom Castle Demesne 13/07/2024 484 18 28:07 
1. Clonakilty 18/11/2023 406 10 27:25 


The challenge with completing all eleven 5k parkruns in Co Cork is not actually doing any individual one but the amount of travelling required to get to all of them.

Ross is almost certainly the first visually impaired runner to complete all eleven.

I've often wondered how many people have completed all eleven parkruns in Cork?

Back in 2025, Grellan McGrath and myself completed the challenge of cycling to all eleven parkruns.

At the moment, Pat Walsh is completing the tour by doing all eleven in 2026... see previous post.

As for how many have done all eleven? I suspect it's in the tens rather than the hundreds. I'd guess maybe 50? As far as I know, there is no easy way to check.

Results of the 5k parkruns in Cork - Sat 6th Jun 2026



Results of the 5k parkruns around the county on Saturday 6th June 2026. Approximately 1188  runners and walkers took part in the 10 events in Co Cork.

Report... With the Cork marathon events out of the way, the numbers recovered quite a bit this week. Conditions this week were mostly dry and very windy with the overnight rain clearing well in time for the parkruns.

There was parkrun in Clonakilty this week due to the Clonakilty Agricultural Show at the Showgrounds.

Most parkruns... The person with the most number of parkruns this weekend in Co Cork was Rosy Ryan from Belfast who completed her 496th parkrun at the Ballincollig event.

First Timers... There's a continuous influx of people trying parkrun for the first time. There were 22 first timers in Tramore Valley this weekend while there were 19 in Ballincollig.

Tramore Valley... The Tramore Valley Park event was the largest parkrun in Co Cork this weekend albeit it was just three finishers ahead of Ballincollig. There was a large contingent of visitors from Essex this weekend and one of those, Fiona Walker completed her 250th parkrun!

Ballincollig... James Long and Pat Daly completed their 100th parkrun this weekend and both have done 82 in Ballincollig.

Mallow... Well done to John Martin who completed his 100th 5k parkrun this weekend. John has 68 of those at the Mallow event.



Macroom... Marie McCarthy completed her 250th 5k parkrun this weekend and 226 of those have been at the Macroom event.



Midleton... Sonia O'Sullivan completed her 199th 5k parkrun and earned her 12th volunteer credit after giving the first timers talk at the Midleton Greenway event this weekend (Photo: Sean McGuill).




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

Upcoming milestones....
