United by Miles
When we heard of a running group based in Blarney called United by Miles we just had to get in touch and congratulate them and lend our support on what has become a really transforming project. United by Miles was formed from an Addiction Recovery Centre with an aim to get a group together to run a local park run in Cork. Organised by the amazing Frankie, Niamh and Aine who volunteered their time and organisational skills to set up the group who meet twice weekly. This group is transforming lives daily, and we were so happy to get involved and sponsor running tops. We believe this group have created a fantastic template for others to follow and perhaps spread the United by Miles branding and template to others nationwide. On May 31 st members of this group will take part in our 10km race. We wish them so much success on Sunday and in their future running journey.
Female Only Training Group
Cork City Marathon is a SheRACES certified race where we sign up to the sheRACES guidelines which aim to get more women to the start line of our races. Part of the feedback from last year was interest in a female only training group. For the first time this year Analog Devices Cork City Marathon in conjunction with Cork Sports Partnership and Togher Fit 4 Life set up a female only half marathon training group which met in Blackrock castle every week and on June 1 st will complete the Analog Devices Cork City Half Marathon. This group will be a springboard to future similar groups that will help increase the number of female runners in our longer distances.
