This event is the key fundraising event for Cork Athletics.

Cork County Board is asking all clubs to provide volunteers on Sunday, to help in the form of stewards, officials, and other help
This year, the event doubles as the Womens County 5k Road Championship, so you'll have an opportunity to cheer on your clubmate...and the opposition!
It's a great day out..and great craic too!
Sunday's weather is looking good to top it all
