Carol Murphy on Bere Island reaches 500 volunteer credit milestone

 

Well done to Carol Murphy who reached the 500-volunteer milestone at the Bere Island 5k parkun last weekend! With one parkrun per week, it takes about 10-years to reach this milestone.

Back in April, Maretta Brennan was the first person in Cork to reach the 500-volunteer credits milestone at the Ballincollig parkrun. Maretta reached this impressive 500 total by volunteering at both the 5k parkrun on Saturday and the junior 2k parkrun on Sunday.

In Carol's case, she is the first person in Cork to reach the 500-volunteer milestone by volunteering only at 5k events. Carol has also as of last Saturday completed 360 5k parkruns with the vast majority on Bere Island.

Joanne Sullivan on Bere Island is on track to become the first person in Cork to complete 500 5k parkruns on Saturday the 22nd of August 2026.

Ballycotton '10' organisers appeal for volunteers to help...

The organisers of the Ballycotton '10' race are appealing for volunteers to help out at the race next Sunday. With a race of that size with so many runners and spectators, it takes a lot of help to make sure everything goes ok on the day.

This race is organised by Ballycotton Running Promotions on a non-profit basis.
