Plans are at an advance stage to develop a €12.3m High-Performance indoor athletics facility, at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT). The facility will include a sprints track, along with Pole Vault and Jump areas.
An application has been made for Funding is being sought under the Department of Transport, Sport and Tourism’s Large Scale Infrastructure Fund (LLSIF). The complete development includes a two-storey multi-purpose sports arena, located south of the existing outdoor Athletics Track and will comprise eight courts, fitness studios, a health and fitness facility, along with dressing rooms.
The Athletics Ireland extension will add an indoor running track, pole vault and jump facilities to the new complex.
Hamish Adams, CEO, Athletics Ireland
Hamish Adams, CEO of Athletics Ireland said that the facility would be a “massive boost” for athletics, and sport in general, in Cork.
“We’ve got an application in for €12.3m funding for a project we want to develop in conjunction with CIT”
“CIT is proceeding with a new gym, in the next few months, and we want to extend that to include a new sports hall, pole vault area, long jump and high jump areas, and a running track. It’s a huge development and it would be a massive boost for sport in Cork, not only athletics but all sport within the college and the local community”
Webmaster's Comment
Several months ago, when I first heard of the proposed Indoor Track, I was "drooling". Indoor athletics competition would finally be a reality in Cork. Such hopes were swiftly dashed when a well-placed source said "No. It won't be an indoor track" (Like Athlone or Abbotstown). "It'll be a straight track" A full size 200m indoor track "would be a 'white elephant', and can't be justified." I suggested that, at least, we could "hold 100m events". The response was equally deflating " It won't be 100m...It may be 80m"
So there you have it. It is NOT an indoor arena for indoor competition.
Nevertheless, this is a very welcome development and should prove very attractive to Vaulters and jumpers, in particular. Currently, many Cork athletes competing in Jumps must travel to Nenagh for event-specific training, so this facility should make life easier for them. Additionally, it should make the Jumps & Vault events more attractive to up-and-coming athletes
Viewed solely on economic grounds, an indoor track would certainly be extremely hard to justify. However a full-size indoor track would, one would hope, be a huge attraction in Cork, and dove-tail in with both existing and proposed facilities in the County. An indoor T&F meet would add to the existing annual Cork City International Sports, perhaps, whether associated or not, both an indoor and an outdoor International meet, in Cork, would create synergy - be greater than the sum of the two individual T&F Meets
Developing a full-size Indoor Track, in Cork, will require an awful lot of dedication, commitment and hard work, from, at least, a core of such individuals, and will not be easy. Along with these traits, a vision of how to make it happen will be a key factor. As the source quoted above suggested, an Indoor Track, has massive potential to become both a 'White Elephant' and a massive drain on resources. Even when developed, there is potential for it to be idle a lot of the time. However, with the advent of Large Scale Infrastructure Fund (LLSIF), from the Department of Transport, Sport and Tourism, there is far greater scope to build one. Sharing the facility with compatible sports and activities, the venue could and should be capable of sustaining extremely high usage, justifying the development. Other ways and means of generating support revenue would certainly help. Developing a full-size Indoor Track in Cork is not something for the faint-hearted! Anyone interested?
In Summary.... A very welcome development - one that adds to the available facilities in Cork.... BUT.....We'll be waiting quite a while before we see an indoor athletics T&F meet in Cork! However... If we don't dream about it, and look for ways and means to develop one... It may never happen.
Cork City Council Invites Athletes to Apply to Represent Cork at The Cologne Marathon
Köln, Germany
Sunday October 13th 2019
Cologne is one of several cities, from all across the world, to have been twinned with Cork City
Links with Cologne were formally established in May 1988, in Cologne, and subsequently, when a party visited Cork in May 1989, when the second stage of the formal twinning ceremony was completed. Since then, the exchange has gone from strength to strength, especially in the fields of education, training, music and athletics.
Please note this invitation only relates to athletes interested in the FULL MARATHON AND applicants MUST be living within the new City boundary
Cork City is twinned with the city of Cologne, Germany, since 1988
Over the years many exchanges have taken place between the cities on various projects.
Over the past 11 years we have been inviting athletes from our twinned cities to the Cork Marathon and more recently the city of Cologne have reciprocated by extending an invitation to Cork to participate in their annual marathon. Since 2011 athletes have been travelling to Cologne and the reports back have been overwhelmingly positive with some athletes making return visits.
Cork City Council, in conjunction with our partners in the Office for International Affairs, Cologne would like to invite 2 interested Cork runners to take part in the 2018 Cologne marathon. The 2019 marathon takes place on Sunday, 13th October.
Cork City Council in conjunction with our partners in the Office for International Affairs Cologne and the Cologne – Cork sister city committee would like to invite 2 interested Cork City runners to be part of the 2019 Cologne Marathon.
Cork City Council will make a financial contribution towards the cost of travel for the athletes. Cologne City Council has offered two free marathon registrations.

Sean Maher (Hammer)
Hammer Thrower Sean Maher had to settle for 13th in his event, throwing 56.48m, outside his personal best. “I’m severely disappointed. I knew I could perform a lot better than 56m – that’s 12m off what I know what I can throw. But when you’re here you need to compete with the big boys – you need to get a throw in in the first three, or you’re not going anywhere.
“I take so much with me, simple things that you can take to the next step, and it really helps you bring up your game. I definitely want to come back – the World Under-20s are in Kenya next year, that’s where I know I’m going to show out.”
Report from Frank Stam, Bandon AC - Diarmuid's Coach
There was some confusion after Diarmuid's decathlon - Even the camera man got it wrong. Diarmuid won the final event, the 1500m, and cameraman kept chasing him, while Diarmuid went about congratulating the medal winners who already had flags around their necks.
Diarmuid was a bit unsettled for both the 100m and Long Jump, but scored a little above PB level. Then his mood fell with Shot Put that was almost 2m down on his PB. However there was a long break after the Shot, and he came back strongly with a new spirit, and jumped five consecutive High Jump PB's.
In the 400m, he probably went out bit too fast, in Lane 7, however his time was very close to a PB. His score after Day 1 was 3569 points. Day 1 ended with 6th place, from 16 participants, which was a happy surprise. The challenge was to not drift out of top 10 the next day.
Day 2 started with a bang, when he won the 110 hurdles, in 14.27 sec - His PB had been 14.45 sec.
This was worth 940 points, and this became the highest score for this decathlon for all athletes. He was on a roll and continued, adding almost 2m to his Discus PB. He then added almost 5m to his Javelin PB. This was followed up when he equalled his Pole Vault PB.
He won the 1500m in a time just 2 seconds over his PB, but still fast enough to break the National Outdoor Youth Decathlon record with a total of 6792 points, 40 points more than Daniel Ryan scored in EYOF Tbilisi, in 2016.
Overall Diarmuid had 6 PB's in all, and retained his 6th place from day 1. Compared to the athletes who finished above him, who have more balanced scores, for the future, Diarmuid still has two events that he can work, on to catch up with them.
Aoife O’Sullivan qualifies for High Jump Final with a first time clearance at 1.75m
Rhadisat Adeleke, Tallaght AC won her second Gold medal of the Games, winning the 200m, to add to her 100m Gold from earlier in the week

Summary of Irish performances will be updated periodically here, during the day
A fine performance from Ruby Millet saw her miss the Long Jump final by a single centimeter, but a great showing from the St Abban's AC athlete, who finished in 13th place overall with a jump of 6.09m. The top twelve progress to the final
Reality Osuoha clocks 21.77sec, to finish fifth in his 200m semi-final. "It wasn't the best of my races but to make the semi-final of the Europeans, I'm pretty happy. I'll take a lot from this and become a better athlete."
Aaron Sexton is the fastest qualifier for today's 200m Final, at 5:35pm this evening, after clocking 21.13sec when winning his Semi-Final. "Everything I've got. It's the last one - give it everything."
It's a stunning National Under-20 record for our women's 4x400m team, who clocked 3:41.28 to finish fourth. Simone Lalor, Miriam Daly, Laura Nally and Rachel McCann SMASH the Irish U20 record with 3:41.28 to move on to tomorrow's Final
Tough work, making a European final, but the Irishmen, Ciaran Carthy, Adam Hughes, Jack Raftery and David Ryan, are marching on to the 4x400m Final after clocking 3:13.72 to finish third in their 4x400m heat
Shay McEvoy reflects on a brilliant year, after finishing 14th, in the men's 3000m Final, in 8:38.03, "I wouldn't have thought I'd be here a year ago so on the whole, I'm very happy."
Deirdre Murray had good reason to be proud, after finishing 7th in the European 400m hurdles Semi-Final, in 60.44 sec, "I went for it. I did what I could. If I was told at the start of the year that I'd be here running these times I'd be delighted."
Sommer Lecky bowed out of the High Jump Final, with a best of 1.84m, finishing in joint-fifth. "I'm kind of gutted because I knew 1.87m was in me today but you have to perform on the day. But I can take this championships away with me and it'll definitely help me progress."
Heartbreak for Aaron Sexton who finished fourth in the Men's 200m Final, clocking the same time, 21.18 sec, as the Bronze medallist, being pipped in the photofinish. "I left everything out there."
52.72 sec for Davicia Patterson, and again it's just off the medals, with a 4th place finish
