Thumbs Up for Mini-Marathon Volunteers 2016
A Big Thank You From Cork Athletics For All Mini-Marathon Volunteers!
Cork Athletics expresses its thanks and appreciation to all the clubs and volunteer stewards, officials, recorders and everyone who helped make yesterday's 35th Evening Echo Mini-Marathon such a success.
This event raises much needed funds for Cork Athletics. The proceeds help Cork Athletics fund its competitions and Championships. In addition it enables the Board to organise training, in coaching, coach education, child protection and safety, along with grants for athletics related equipment. The Board also organises transport and accomodation for representative Cork teams.
Cork Athletics is a not-for-profit voluntary organisation. The Officers, Committee members and others who help to run the business of the Board are all volunteers, who give their time and expertise, free of charge, for the benefit of the athletes and the sport.
Behind the scenes

A behind the scenes look at the 35th Evening Echo Womens Mini-Marathon 2106. Pat Walsh gives instructions and safety briefing to some of the volunteer stewards, who will marshall and steward the route. Towards the end of the viideo, volunteers can be seen at the finish line, recording finishers numbers, distributing water and 'goodie bags' and tidying up the area.
All Cork Athletics volunteers are drawn from members clubs and supporters, who provide their time, expertise and experience entirely voluntarily and free of charge. Without these volunteers, neither this event, nor indeed any of Cork Athletics many events - Juvenile, Adult & Masters Events, including Track & Field, Road, Cross-Country, Coach Education and Child Protection, Technical and Safety Training - would not be possible.
