About the race
The Cork Rebel Run is an annual community running event, first held in October 2012 and organised by Cork Sports Partnership, MTU Sports Department/Athletics Club and Leisureworld Cork. The event takes place in Bishopstown, Cork, with both the start and finish on the Munster Technological University (MTU) campus and a finish on the MTU Athletics Track.
Two route options are offered:
- 5 km
- 10 km
Route details: the 10 km course is mainly on quiet county roads for approximately the first 7 km, with the final 3 km on pedestrian walkways (Curraheen River Walk) and road before returning to MTU. The 5 km route uses road for the first 1.5 km, follows the Curraheen River Walk for about 2 km, then returns to MTU by road.
Entries for 2026 are limited to 1,000 participants and this is a pre-registration only event. Registration opens on Wednesday 12 August. Registration for 2026 includes an event number and timing chip, a goody bag and a 2026 souvenir gift. The event is chip timed. There is an option to have the race number and souvenir posted for an additional fee of €5; a postal cut-off date applies. All pre-registered participants must collect their race number and goody bag in advance; there is no number pick up on the day. Minimum entry age is 15 years as per Athletics Ireland guidelines. Category prizes apply for the 10 km only and spot prizes are allocated across both distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
