Marathon Day Live: Runners take to the streets of Dublin and Cork as temperatures hit 24 degrees
Close to 5,000 runners set off at 8.45am on the 10km section of the Cork City Marathon – it took eight minutes for all the 10km runners to clear the start line on Patrick Street in Cork city centre.
This year also sees the greatest number of Sanctuary Runners participating in the event – more than 600 drawn from 43 different nations – and many were taking part in the 10km event. It was 14 degrees when the 10km competitors headed off but temperatures are predicted to hit 19 degrees later in the morning with organisers urging participants to make sure they stay hydrated.
The route will bring runners from the city centre out to Blackpool on the city’s northside and back down the quays north of the river before crossing to the city’s southside via the Jack Lynch Tunnel.
