Cork City Council have just named a new bench in Ballincollig Regional Park after the late Anne Murphy.

Anne was a regular attendee at the various parkruns and did her first 5k parkrun in Tralee back on the 13th of June 2015. Her first outing in Ballincollig Regional Park was at the inaugural event on the 18th of June 2016 and Ballincollig would go on to become her home parkrun.

Anne completed 148 parkruns with husband Joe in 17 different locations.

Anne Murphy - RIP

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Anne Murphy over the weekend. 

Anne was a very active member of the local road running scene and was a great supporter of the many races be it as an active participant, helping out behind the scenes or taking photos with her husband Joe.

If you've done any of the local races over the years then there's a good chance that Anne took a photo of you and it appeared on the popular Joe Anne Photos Facebook page.
