| The Course | FAQ |
Major changes were introduced for the 2018 race. The changes were introduced to make the event a more memorable and pleasurable experienced for all participants, walkers and runners alike.
The biggest change made was to make the course a 5km race (or 3.11 Miles) event. This meant that all participants were able to assemble and start on Centre Park Road, eliminating the hectic merge of previous years, at the Mill Road / Centre Park Road, making for a much smoother start for all.
Another change new to the race was the introduction of Time Zones. These are self-selected zones, starting at Sub-24 Minutes, starting with 2 to 3 Minute (exact ranges yet to be decided) zones, with higher ranges as times increase
I've always walked the course, but I've always started at the front. Can I do the same this year?
The time zones are completely voluntary, however we urge to please not start at the front, but further back, in a zone appropriate to your own estimated finish time. If you do start at the front, you will be passed, immediately after the start, by thousands of runners, going much faster than you, possibly leading to a less than pleasant experience. The principle behind the time zones is that all participants will start smoothly, getting right into their own pace from the outset, leading to a far more enjoyable and safe experience. This will only work properly if all participants start in a realistic time zone for their pace and finish time

Wear your number on your FRONT. This is essential to ensure that
a) Your details can be recorded quickly after you finish
b) Most importantly, that you can be identified rapidly in the event of a medical emergency.
c) So that you can be identified in photos and videos.
FAQ list
7. I haven't entered and don't have a number
If you don't have a number, you will NOT be admitted to the start area. If you join in somewhere along the course, you will NOT be covered by the race insurance and will be taking PERSONAL LIABILITY for any mishap you may cause. After you finish you will NOT receive a finisher's medal.
If you are involved in a medical emergency, we will not know who you are, and will not have your details.
FAQ list
8. I haven't entered, I want all my money to go to charity
This event costs a lot of money to organise, however the event organisers, Cork Athletics County Board, maintain the entry charge at a low rate, significantly below that of most other similar events.
There are many "hidden" costs that you may not have considered; Insurance entrants in this event are covered by insurance - anyone who has not entered will not be covered. Road Closure Orders, portaloos, barriers, including transport for these, security personnel, medical services, race numbers, pins (yes - you may only use 4, but some 50,000 pins are required @ approx. €15 per 1,000), phone & postage, race flyers, information leaflets (distributed to houses and businesses along the course), signage, public address, race radios, and many, many more costs.
No Athletics Ireland official or steward receives any money from this event - all time and services are provided free of charge. The big winners in this event are the various charities chosen by the charities themselves - approx. €1.5 million will be raised for charity from this year's Echo Mini-Marathon - all of which will be given directly to the charities by the participants. So, if people didn't pay their entry fee, it would not be possible to cover the costs of organising and running this event and the big losers would be the charities.
FAQ list
9. Where do I go on the day?
Entrance to the start/holding areas are via Mill Road and Marina Walk, off Victoria Road. Other roads in the area will be closed off and barriered, with security personnel present. There will be no access from the quay areas. There will be Road Closure Orders in place from 11am on Mill Road, Marina Walk, Kennedy Quay, Centre Park Road, and Monahan Road
Entry to Mini-Marathon start/holding area

FAQ list
10. I intend running, is there a separate area for runners?
There is a separate start area for runners. However there are time zones and all runners and walkers are expected to line up in zones appropriate to their level of fitness, pace and expected finish time
FAQ list
11. I intend walking, but I want to get away early. Can I start at the front?
If you're walking, please do NOT make your way up to the front and line up there, otherwise there may be jostling and pushing. You will have a far more pleasant experience if you line up in the zone nearest to your estimated pace/finish time. This will allow everyone to move off quickly, without being held up by slower people in front of them, making for a frustrating time all round. We want everyone to enjoy their experience.
FAQ list

Athletics Ireland Release
A team of 32 Irish athletes will take their place among the 44 countries set to compete at the 2023 European Athletics U20 Championships which are being hosted in Jerusalem, Israel, from the 7th to 10th August 2023. The team includes 18 individual competitors along with relay squads in the men's 4x100m, men's 4x400m, and women's 4x400m
Nick Griggs, reigning European U20 Champion over 3000m, will lead the Irish challenge with the Candour Track Club athlete holding entries in both the 1500m and 3000m. Griggs heads into these championships ranked second in the 1500m behind Niels Laros (NED) on his season’s best, while his 7:53.24 from earlier this season ranks him number one in the 3,000m where he could also face off against the Dutch athlete
Elizabeth Ndudi goes into the championships as Ireland's top ranked female athlete having recently bettered her own U20 Long Jump record with a 6.44m leap in Mannheim. The Dundrum South Dublin athlete followed up that impressive performance with a gold medal winning display at the National Senior Track and Field Championships in Morton Stadium last weekend
Leading out Team Ireland on day 1 will be Ava Rochford of Nenagh Olympic who will have eyes on making Wednesday’s long jump final. Rochford will head into Monday's qualifying round buoyed by a string of consistent performances which included a personal best of 1.80m back in May
All the action from Jerusalem will be streamed live on All Athletics TV in partnership with RTE. Updates will be available across all of Athletics Ireland’s social media channels throughout the day
