Analog Devices Supporting Community, Wellbeing and Opportunity Analog Devices Inc (ADI) is proud to be the title sponsor of the Analog Devices Cork City Marathon, one of Ireland’s most important and inclusive sporting events. When we first sat down with Race Director Eamon Hayes and Cork City Council, the alignment was immediate - the Analog Devices Cork City Marathon isn’t just a race, it’s an event that prioritizes the community. ADI has been part of the Cork community for over 25 years, and in Ireland for 50 years with teams across Cork, Limerick and Dublin. As a global leader in semiconductor technology, our work is about helping make systems and devices smarter whether that relates to healthcare, clean energy or the wearable technology many runners rely on to track performance. The Analog Devices Cork City Marathon reflects many of the values that matter to us at ADI. It is a non profit event that reinvests directly into local charities, community groups and initiatives that encourage participation across all ages and abilities. From first time runners to elite athletes, the marathon brings together people from every background with a shared sense of determination, commitment and community pride. What truly sets the Analog Devices Cork City Marathon apart is its commitment to breaking down barriers. It partners with organisations like the Sanctuary Runners to support those living in direct provision. It works with Munster Sports
Partnership to provide free entries for people with disabilities. It collaborates with Back2Boston, founded by our own ADI colleague John Kinsella, to sponsor young runners from disadvantaged communities. And through SheRACES, it actively drives female participation in running. These are the kinds of initiatives that mirror our own values of inclusion and community impact. Our sponsorship supports the continued growth of the event in a way that is meaningful and sustainable, helping to improve the race day experience, expand capacity, and support initiatives focused on inclusion, wellbeing and youth participation. It also strengthens Cork’s position as a city that champions sport, health and community connection. On race day, many ADI employees will be running, volunteering and cheering from the sidelines. We are delighted to be part of an event that brings such energy to the city and creates a positive impact long after the final runner crosses the line. We wish all participants the very best of luck and hope you enjoy every step of the journey through Cork.
Best of luck to you all!
