Results of the Cork BHAA Musgraves 5k - Wed 10th June 2026

The Cork BHAA Musgraves 5k race was held in Cork City on Wed 10th of June 2026 with 770 taking part. That's a 25% increase on last year which is significant.

Unlike last year, the route used less of the Marina this year and more around Pairc Ui Chaoimh and the Marina Park.I think it was the first time that a race went around the north side of the Atlantic Pond where a much wider path was opened earlier this year.

From Triona O'Sullivan... "Unfortunately on 28th Of May 20225, I lost my uncle John Hayes unexpectedly and in his memory I want run in his honour. In total, John had run 112 times at parkrun and volunteered on 28 occasions. He mostly ran at Macroom but he also visited some other local parkruns including Ballincollig, Bere Island, Clonakilty, Glen River and also Killarney and Tralee.  He was involved in Cork BHAA and did many races."

This charity 5k will be held at Valley Rovers GAA grounds in Innishannon which is next to the N71 road and the Bandon River.

The course is on the 800m long 'Bleach Walk' which is named in memory of the linen bleaching industry which used to operate here in the 18th century.

15% Discount...... John Buckley Sports gave out 15% discount to all finishers in the race. Use your race number and present it in the shop to avail of the 15% discount. It will apply to any purchases in their shop which is across from the Opera House in the heart of Cork City. Needless to say, the amount you save with the discount may well exceed the race entry so they are well worth getting. Note that the discount is not restricted to just one item. When you are using it, you can buy several products at the one time and get 15% off the lot. 

The expiry date on the race number discount is the 31st of December 2026 so you have plenty of time to use it.

John Buckley Sports shop is across the river from the Opera House.

Addendum... It looks as if there was some issue with the course being too long this year. I checked the Strava account of someone who did the race this year and last year.

It does look as if the BHAA put the start line about 300m too far down the Marina. They admitted there was an issue on Facebook.

The 16th year of the annual Eagle Athletic Club Cheetah Run was officially launched by masters athlete Billy Cabal.

Aged 83, Billy has completed more Cheetah Runs than any other runner since its inception in 2008. Online registration opens on April 7th at Eventmaster.ie and the popular race is set to take place on Thursday, May 14th, 2026, at Fota Wildlife Park. The annual race continues to serve as a key fundraising event for Fota Wildlife Park, and funds raised during the event support the Park’s vital ongoing conservation work.

Also in attendance at the launch of this year’s event were emerging Cork athletes, Alison Brennan (Ballymore Cobh AC) and siblings Louise and Laura Twohig (Blarney Inniscarra AC).

The yearly event features a 5k route for adults (aged 16 years +) and a 1-Mile Race for junior runners (11-15 years) and is sponsored by John Buckley Sports and Brooks Running. Last year, the event raised €5,000 for the Red Panda Network, helping protect this endangered species. Funds raised annually support Fota Wildlife Park's conservation programmes, including endangered species protection and native wildlife initiatives."

5k Course... The same 5k route will be used again which takes in all areas of the Wildlife Park. There will be prizes for the first 5 men and women as well as the usual age categories.
