The Cork BHAA IFF 5k was held in Little Island on Sun 19th Jan 2025 on what was a dry, overcast and mild morning. This was the first race of the year on the Cork BHAA calendar after the ESB Cross Country race earlier in January was cancelled.
Looking at the numbers, there were 356 finishers this year. As can be seen from the chart above, this is well up on last year and down a bit on 2023.
Looking at my results post for 2024, I noted that the numbers were probably down then due to the wind and rain on the day and that they would likely recover. Sure enough, the numbers for 2025 were up 90 on last year which is about a third.
It was about 140 down on the peak numbers in the 2012 to 2015 time period.
