As might be expected for a race in Cork City, it attracted mostly runners from Cork City with 20% of the field breaking the 20 minute mark. By comparison, 45% of the field for the recent Newmarket 5k broke 20 minutes and seems to have attracted a faster field from a wider area.

The first woman home was Michelle Finn who also broke the course record with a fine time of 16m 05s.

First 3 women in the Togher 5k (L-R) Jane Buckley (2nd), Michelle Finn (1st) & Niamh Moore (3rd)
