Why the 10k?
your own or with a group! It will be a great opportunity for everybody who participates in the very popular 5k park runs to join the Cork City Marathon 10k challenge. Who can participate in the 10k? If you are at least 15 years old and have recently started running, or doing any fun runs or 5k runs on weekends, recommenced training, or are in recovery from an injury and are worried that the Half Marathon or Full Marathon might be too much or too strenuous for you, the 10K could be the perfect option for you! You will get a medal crossing the finish line and there will be cash prizes up for grabs, similar to the other races of the day! Athletic Club Teams. Athletic Club teams will be formed automatically from those registered as Athletes and have chosen their clubs in registration. People will get their individual prizes for the first 3 winners of male and female and then if entered as a team the fastest team would win another prize which they can then win for their club. It would also be a great challenge and give everybody a chance, as it doesn’t mean the team with the fastest runner will win the team prize. Another team might come in after the first 3 but their times added up might be better than the team with the fastest runner.
• Everybody will start together which will lead to a great atmosphere at the start line • Teammates can encourage each other during the race. • It is very inclusive and suitable for walkers, fast runners and people with disabilities.
• Minimum age is 15 years old.
• Wheelchair users can participate.
• It’s a community focused.
• All members have their finish times published on the race results page. • Minimal waiting times as everybody will start together. Especially running together with a friend, in a group or with a team will encourage each other and make the 10k race super enjoyable. • Everybody can walk easily to the start line from city hall after the bag drop. • Also small charities can participate if they only have 1 or 2 people running for them, as there is no min or max number of participants needed.
