This year we supported many great projects.
The back2boston Project
Sometimes at Analog Devices Cork City Marathon someone gets in touch with us with a brilliant idea that aligns perfectly with what the Analog Devices Cork City Marathon is all about and we can’t say yes quick enough. Enter John Kinsella. John a well-known Limerick runner who is the first person in the world over the age of 40 to run the World Marathon Majors of London, Berlin, New York, Chicago, Tokyo and Boston in under 2 hours 30 minutes. When you get a message from someone like John it obviously sparks your interest straight away but when we heard what he had planned we were on board immediately. John had an idea. His mission was to empower individuals from disadvantaged areas by providing them with an opportunity to run a marathon and ultimately guide them to qualify and hopefully participate in the Boston Marathon. His aim is to demonstrate how running can transform lives, foster personal growth and build a sense of community. This aligns so much with our own mission in Analog Devices Cork City Marathon that we were thrilled to support John and his back2boston project and we welcome his runners to Cork and wish them every success in their bid to qualify for Boston. More importantly we hope they enjoy their experience at Analog Devices Cork City Marathon and the journey over the past weeks and years to get to the finish line on May 31 st .
