Cork City Council Invites Athletes to Apply to Represent Cork at The Cologne Marathon

Cologne - Cork Twinning
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.
INVITATION TO THE RHEINENERGIEMARATHON COLOGNE - 13th OCTOBER, 2019
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.
