Run Cork Half Marathon
The Run Cork Half Marathon is a city road race based at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork. The single official distance is 21.1 km, run as two loops of flat tarmac and the Marina Greenway alongside the River Lee. The route is fully marshalled, closed to traffic where it matters, and has a total elevation gain under 20 metres.
Entries are capped at 3,500 places and open in September 2026; a wait list is used until entries open. Runners must be 18 or over on race day. Official chip timing provides instant results and the event issues a finisher's medal and an event T-shirt to all finishers. Water stations and toilets are located at approximately 5 km, 10 km, 15 km and 20 km; a bag drop and medical support are provided at the finish venue. Race packs can be posted or collected at the venue before the event.
Cliona's Foundation is the official charity partner. Fundraising is optional; the charity provides grants to families to cover non-medical costs when a child is seriously ill. The measured route is subject to final approval by local authorities and the certified course is published when entries open. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
