There is no doubting the number and variety of road races now available. Taking a look at the month just gone, on the Cork Athletics website at least 10 events ranging from 5km to 25km were scheduled for city and county alone. It was so different ‘back in the day’ when one event stood out above all others during that month of April – the 15-mile race from Cork to Cobh
Back in 2016, Blarney runner/librarian/ historian Richard Forrest published a delightful 136-page book covering the history of this famous event beginning with what he called ‘the modern race’ in 1962. This was organised by the Ballymore Athletics and Cycling club under the auspices of the NACA and when BLE (forerunner to Athletics Ireland) came into being in 1967 the race acted most years either as the national or Munster 15-mile championship
Such was the case 50 years ago when, on April 15th, 1973, the allure of national championship status attracted an entry of over 100 from all parts of the country. Clubs represented included Raheny, Inchicore, Civil Servce, Clonliffe and University College Galway. There was a strong Cork entry which included a number taking on the 15-mile journey for the first time
The race started at 3pm under the Railway Bridge at Water Street. Dressing facilities and number collection were provided at the Arcadia Ballroom on Lower Glanmire Road. The initial part of the route took the runners along the dual carriageway as far as Dunkettle. Long before the N25 came into being, they then continued down the old road almost into Carrigtwohill before turning right for the familiar second half all the way to Cobh. Interestingly, the first mile mark to be seen was a ‘10’ at Glounthaune (telling you how far you had to go) with a similar ‘5’ near Fota followed by a count-down of miles 4, 3, 2 and 1
Pat O’Riordan of Leevale had won the race in 1968 and 1972, the latter in a time of 75:45. But in what was described by Tim O’Brien in the Cork Examiner as ‘a spell binding performance’ he improved on that by a whopping one minute and 46 seconds to win in an Irish record of 73:59
Employed in Wexford in the dairy industry at the time, the 26-year-old O’Riordan was a man for all seasons. He enjoyed national success with Leevale and Cork at cross-country and was Irish steeplechase champion in 1971, boasting a best time of 8:54.4 over the barriers. Three years ago he was honoured by Cork Athletics as a member of the 1968 All-Ireland team who won the inter-counties title at Mallow Racecourse for the fifth time in six years
The class of his performance that April day can be seen from those left in his wake. Des McGann had represented Ireland in the Olympic Marathon the year before and yet was over a minute in arrears. Joe Scanlon (GCH) in third and Finbarr Long (UCC) in fourth would go on to win national titles at 5000m and steeplechase respectively while Fr Paddy Coyle (fifth) was a former national marathon and cross-country champion
Richard Crowley, St Finbarr’s, winner of the Cork-Cobh in 1971, could only manage sixth on this occasion. Donie Walsh (also an Olympic marathoner in 1972), the national cross-country champion a couple of months before, must have had an off-day as he was well down in 12th place
Two young runners who would go on to greater things were 17-year-old Gerry Deegan (three national cross-country and four inter-county senior titles) in 37th place and four places further back, Liam O’Brien, a year older, was already laying down the endurance foundation that would take him to the semi-final of the Olympic 3000m steeplechase 11 years later
Two places from the end was Mark O’Shea, 42, from Dromcollogher who had discarded his shoes at Kilacloyne Bridge and proceeded to run the remaining distance in his thick woollen grey socks. Mark had also run the year before and, according to the Cork Examiner, ‘he richly deserved that special applause of spectators when he crossed the line’. The fact that a 41-year-old running 15 miles was a newsworthy item shows how far we’ve come – nowadays a similar race could just as easily be won by someone in that same age bracket
Sadly, a number of those numbered among the 65 finishers that day have now gone to their eternal reward. A few others are involved in the sport in various roles and indeed one or two are still toeing the line in races, although it could be said their 10-mile times now are approaching what they achieved for 15 miles back then
Of course there is one glaring omission from this look-back – there is no mention of female participants. For the simple reason that back then no women ran such a distance
It would be another five years before three brave and pioneering Cork runners - Marion Lyons, Elaine Kelly and Dervla Mellerick – lined up under the same Railway Bridge at Water Street and embarked on a maiden voyage to the seaside town of Cobh, thereby changing the face of Irish running forever

It is critical that clubs now complete their contact details, as information regarding the upcoming T&F season will be circulated shortly
"Dear Club Secretary,
Many thanks to the clubs that have responded to my previous email. I have not yet heard back from all clubs, and I am putting out a request, via your county secretary, as I no longer have all club's details on the new Munster emailing list
I am requesting that you get those details to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ASAP, as we need to send out details for the upcoming T&F season. Please do not send those details to any other email address as I will not receive them and they will not be included.
Club chairpeople will not be added to the list, nor will any parents, as it is the responsibility of the club secretaries to pass on all details to their club members
Many thanks,

March end-of-month registrations for Cork Athletics stand at a record 7,287
The figures still include several 'anomalies'; There are exact duplicate registrations in Cork, where exactly the same individuals are included twice, and several other duplicate individuals. Along with this, there is one registration that does not expire at the end of the year
Another set of anomalies relate to New Memberships, of which almost 1,650 are listed. Many long term AAI members are listed as 'New Members', some of which have as much as 30 or 40 years unbroken AAI/BLE membership. One club has twenty three members wrongly listed as New Registrations
There are now 56 fully registered clubs, with new clubs, The Rebels AC and The Wibblies AC, resistering their first athletes
Clubs are reminded that new members may 'try out' the club for a few weeks, after which they MUST be registered, or they will NOT be covered by Athletics Ireland insurance
Any athlete, coach, official, or any member acting in any capacity, who remains unregistered is NOT covered by Athletics Irelands insurance, for ANY purpose whatsoever, including training and/or competition

The club figures are already 'out of date', as the March 2023 Transfers become effective today, meaning that, for the April registration figures, transferring athletes are listed with their previous club, while today, May 1st, they are listed with their respective new clubs

Each club is expected to provide stewards to assist on each day of the event. Those who are County Board Officiers and/or Officials are considered as County representatives, and not Club representatives, for the purpose of these events
We ask for your co-operation and assistance with the following:
1. Each club to e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with a list of their stewards. Days 1 and 2 should be provided by 23:59 next Tuesday night (2nd May), and should include both the name and telephone number for each of the stewards. If a nominated steward is only available for part of the day a replacement/back-up should also be provided
2. Where possible, clubs should send one representative to the UCC Mardyke Track for 4:30pm on Saturday 29th April, to discuss stewarding requirements. This would be greatly appreciated. The meeting point will be beside Red-Brick Pavillion, which is next to the track, on the western end (riverside). You will be met there by members of the Juvenile T&F sub-committee

The March Cork City athlete of the month award goes to Nicola Tuthill, Bandon and UCD AC
Nicola Tuthill ( Bandon and UCD AC ) is the Cork City Sports Athlete of the Month For March. At the European Throwing Cup, in Leira, Portugal, Nicola produced a personal best throw of 64.44m, to secure a brilliant silver medal in the under 23 competition. This effort was all the more praiseworthy given that Nicola, suffered a very nasty shoulder/elbow injury at the same venue last year. She can now look forward to a full season of Hammer Throwing, culminating with the European Under 23 Championships, in Finland, the weekend before the 70th Cork City sports, which takes Place a few days later on Thursday July 20th
Nicola Tuthill, representing UCD AC, improved on that mark, with a massive throw of 65.74m in Dublin, on Saturday last, April 22nd
Already qualified for the European U23 championships in Finland in July, this performance – achieved in wet and windy conditions - moves her to second on the Irish senior all-time list, behind Eileen O’Keeffe’s National record of 73.21m, which has stood since 2007
