Cork City Marathon 2024 - Call for Volunteer Stewards

Volunteer Stewards Needed - Cork City Marathon 2024

Sunday June 2nd 2024

 

34207438 race marshal


Apart from all the fine details that go into organising any event, no race can go ahead without two essential elements:

Runners and Stewards

Record numbers have entered for this year's Marathon, Half-Marathon and 10k, with all three events selling out, but there is a shortfall in volunteer stewards.....and these volunteers are vital to everyone having a great day!

Cork Athletics manages and stewards some 60% of the course, from the Start Line to Tivoli (0 to 5 Miles), then from the Marina to the Finish line (15 Miles to 26.2 Miles). The County Board is also covering the 10k course stewarding

Cork Athletics has always had a tremendous response from Athletes, and their Clubs, nevertheless there is always a shortfall in requirements.  If you can spare a few hours on Sunday June 2nd, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. - full contact details below

Incentive to Clubs Providing Stewards for Marathon

Cork Athletics needs approx. 120 stewards, to cover its areas of responsibility in the Marathon

Cork County Board is offering member clubs a financial fundraising incentive, similar to that of the Grant Thornton, for each steward that a club provides

Stewarding can be a very rewarding experience, and is a great way to see the event, while, at the same time, giving something back to the sport and the community"

track and field 2022
Closing date for the Under-9 to Under-14 track events, on Entry4Sport, is 8:00 pm on Wednesday 8th May. All entries need to be included by that time

Any club having difficulties should please contact Competition Secretary, Michael Flynn


The schedule/timetable will be displayed once entries have been completed, but for the moment registration will start at 10:00 am, with the sprints commencing at 11:00 am

Entry for the pole vault closes on Thursday 9th May at 8:00 pm. Due to the upgrade of the E4S system, there was a requirement for athletes to put in a PB into any field event for the third day, on 19th May in Castleisland. This requirement has now been removed

Relays
1. An athlete may only take part in 2 relays. This should only impact athletes in Under-17 to Under-19 age groups, as they have 4x100m and 4x400m events


2. Each age group up to Under-17 must have a minimum of two athletes born in the year of the age group actually running  the race. You can have four called up from the year before but only two of them are permitted to race on the day

Example: If an Under-11 team has two Under-11 athletes and four Under-10 athletes the two Under-11 athletes must take part in the race. If one of them is not available, the team must forfeit their place in the event


3. There is also a mixed relay 4x400m event for Under-17 and Under-19's (not Under-18). This is NOT on the schedule of events, but any club that wishes to enter a team should e-mail the Competition Secretary at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the details of their team

The mixed relay is part of the 2 relay restriction for athletes, so anybody entered in the 4x400 and 4x100 events may not also do the mixed relay.

In addition the Under-17 mixed relay event is restricted to athletes in the Under-17 age category only, and Under-16's (born in 2009) are not eligible to take part

World Bronze for Ireland's 4x400m Team was the icing on the cake, capping off a wondrous weekend for Ireland. Ireland competed with the same team, with Cillian Greene, Rhasidat Adeleke, Thomas Barr and Charlene Mawdsley. Greene ran a great leg, handing over to Adeleke, who, again, proved an absolute powerhouse. Adeleke took over in fourth place, and Produced a stunning 48.45 sec run, to bring Ireland into second place. In the process she, as per the commentary, "left the Netherland's Klava in her dust". Sophie Becker took the third leg, handing over, in third place, to Charlene Mawdsley. Mawdsley produced an absolutely powerful run, holding off Femke Bol, until the final metres, finishing, probably half a stride behind Bol, for an Irish Bronze. In the process, Ireland took another second of the National Record

Twenty minutes later, the Irish Women 4x400m Team were on Track. With such a short interval after the Mixed 4x400m, Ireland made two changes from yesterday's team, with Adeleke and Mawdsley dropping out, replaced by Roisin Cadden and Lauren Cadden. Phil Healy, Bandon AC, took them out in the first leg, handing over, in fourth place, to Cadden,who, in turn, handed the baton to Harrison, in 5th place. Harrison and Becker both ran strongly to bring Ireland home in seventh place, in 3:30.95

IRISH MIXED 4X400M TEAM WIN SENSATIONAL BRONZE AT WORLD ATHLETICS RELAYS

The Irish Mixed 4x400m team have won bronze at the World Athletics Relays in Nassau, the Bahamas.

Cillin Greene (Galway City Harriers), Rhasidat Adeleke (Tallaght AC), Thomas Barr (Ferrybank AC) and Sharlene Mawdsley (Newport AC) combined to run another national record of 3:11.53 to seal their spot on the podium.

Amongst the Irish splits was a phenomenal 48.45 from Adeleke who showed her class once again on another superb night for Irish sprinting.

Speaking afterwards to Athletics Ireland the team gave their reaction:

“It’s absolutely unbelievable, it’s the stuff of the dreams…I don’t think we expected it at all, we couldn’t be happier,” Greene said.

“I wanted to try my best to put Tom in the best position going forward. I was able to catch a couple of people and I knew Tom would be able to hold it and that Sharlene would finish well. I really appreciate my teammates,” Adeleke said.

“I’m very proud of this team and what we’ve built in the last couple of years. We gave it absolutely everything we had today…We always punch above our weight. We all come together as a team. It’s a big win for us. First of all to get Olympic qualification but secondly to go home with a medal is something of dreams,” Barr said.

“I’ll be making the most of this. It’s a great start to the Olympic season and we couldn’t have asked for much more today,” Mawdsley added.

Also in action on Day Two of the event were the Women’s 4x400m team who finished seventh in a time of 3:30.95.

Phil Healy (Bandon AC), Roisin Harrison (Emerald AC), Lauren Cadden (Sligo AC) and Sophie Becker (Raheny Shamrock AC) combined to deliver another strong performance.

On Saturday night both teams qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games setting new national records in the process.

Both Irish teams ran National Records, to win their respective Heats. All-in-all, it was a wonderous night for Ireland. First off was the Mixed 4x400 team, with Cillian Greene, Rhasidat Adeleke, Thomas Barr and Charlene Becker. Greene ran strongly to hand over to Adeleke, who proved an absolute powerhouse, bringing Ireland into a commanding lead on the second leg, with Barr taking over. Barr came under pressure coming off the final bend, but experience told, and he held his place, handing over to Charlene Mawdsley, who was not to be seriously challenged and, in the final metres, extended her lead, and looked almost like she was starting off

Just Ninety minutes later, Mawdsley and Adeleke were back on track with the Irish Womens 4x400m Team. Sophie Becker ran the first leg, followed by Rhasidat Adeleke, with Phil Healy, Bandon AC, on the third leg, with Charlene Mawdsley running the anchor leg. Becker handed over to Adeleke in 2nd place, Adeleke, built a huge lead, to hand over to Phil Healy, who held the lead.  On teh final leg, Mawdsley came under pressure from GB's Nielsen, but finished strongly, for the win. Fabulous performances, but especially so from Mawdsley and Adeleke, running two World Class 400m legs in the space of 90 mins. Adeleke ran the fastest leg of all, being the only female runner to go sub 50 sec on the day, with 49.48!

Athletics Ireland Report

TWO IRISH TEAMS SEAL OLYMPIC SPOTS ON MAGICAL NIGHT IN NASSAU

The Irish Mixed and Women’s 4x400m relay teams sealed their spots at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in scintillating fashion on Day One of the World Athletics Relays in Nassau, the Bahamas

Both teams ran superb national records to win their heats and illustrated once again Ireland’s strength on the global relay stage

First up it was the turn of the Mixed 4x400m team which comprised of Cillin Greene (Galway City Harriers), Rhasidat Adeleke (Tallaght AC), Thomas Barr (Ferrybank AC) and Sharlene Mawdsley (Newport AC) who clocked a time of 3:12.50 to win their heat

Speaking to Athletics Ireland afterwards Thomas Barr and Cillin Greene couldn’t contain their delight

“We knew in our heart of hearts that we had everything we had we needed to qualify and to get through and win this race but sometimes it’s about executing it. I feel like we did that exactly what we needed to do to get the job done,” Barr said

“That’s our first race as a unit this year. Looking forward it looks like we’re only going to get faster, it’s really promising to have the team together and doing so well this early in the season.”

Adeleke and Mawdsley would make a remarkable comeback ninety minutes later to help the Women’s team to victory in 3:24.38 taking over one and a half seconds off the previous record

Mawdsley split under 51 seconds for the second time in the evening, while Adeleke was once again under 50 seconds

Stellar performances also from Sophie Becker (Raheny Shamrock AC) and Phil Healy (Bandon AC) allowed Ireland to storm to the win

Speaking afterwards Adeleke and Mawdsley gave their reaction:

“If anything I was feeling a little bit sleepy after being up so early this morning,” Adeleke said. “Knowing that we could all qualify for the Olympics gives you enough energy to go out there and do your best.”

“We couldn’t have asked for much more. Two wins, two national records…what a dreamy night. I can’t put into words how much this means to us all. We ticked off all the checklist for today,” Mawdsley added

Both teams will now prepare for finals tomorrow

We cannot be any more definite about times at this point. For the meet this past Sunday, over 600 entries were received in the last 48 hours before the closing time, so trying to predict how many will enter (and how many will turn up) is not possible today

If anybody is available to help with stewarding at an event, or part of an event, for the day, all help is welcome. Please contact the Competition Secretary, Michael Flynn, on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

 

Relays

Reminder that if a club wishes to enter a mixed relay team in the Under 17 or Under 19 4x400m race please contact the Competition Secretary


Athletes may only enter two relays, which includes the mixed relay


For the Under 17 4*400m race (male, female and mixed) all athletes have to be in the Under 17 age category (i.e. born in 2008)


When collecting your numbers there will be a relay sign-in sheet included listing the relay teams that you have entered.
All clubs must submit their list of runners, and substitutes, to registration by 10:30am, so that they can be matched against entries.
As the Under 9 - Under 17 4x100m relay teams must have a minimum of two athletes of the age that run the race, it is important that you complete the declaration correctly


If you do not have two athletes of the appropriate age running the race, the team is not permitted to take part.
In the event that it is determined the team had three or four athletes out of age running the race the team will be disqualified and will not be permitted to take part in the national relay finals where relevant


The two athlete restriction does not apply to Under 18 and Under 19 relays. However declaration forms are still required.
If you have only entered 4 or 5 athletes through the registration system you will not be permitted to add an extra athlete on the day


You will not be permitted to add extra relay teams on the day


Where necessary relays will be broken into heats and finals. If there are 8 or fewer teams declared it will be a straight final.
The top three teams in each race from Under 12 to Under 19 will qualify for the national relay finals


Under 9 to Under 11 relay qualification is through the regional (Munster) championships

Update 9:45pm Tuesday May 7th

Cork Athletics were apprised, earlier, today that work is not now scheduled to start until Monday next, Mar 13th. The outlook for next week, though it's really way too early to be accurately predicted, is for good weather, but with some wet spells. Let's hope that conditions are satisfactory for resurfacing

Posted May 6th


After months...some would say years.... of bitter disappointment, and the cancellation of a significant number of events, including last year's 70th Anniversary Cork City Sports, along with the County Senior, Junior & Masters T&F Championships, and the County Graded Leagues, and the necessity of holding of Cork Athletic's County Juvenile Championships in in various locations around the county, and even holding some Cork County Juvenile Championships events in Kerry!, and some divisional championships in Clonmel and Newcastlewest, work on the MTU Track is due to re-commence this week

The Preparatory work was completed in late Spring 2023, however delays in laying the tarmac sub-surface led to major delays, when the weather turned for the worst - Prolonged periods of dry weather are necessary between layers

The first layer of top surface was started last September. Now, after what seems like an eternity, the Final tartan surface will, hopefully, be laid in the next week or two

Curing

It will be several weeks more before lining of the track can be done, as the tartan surface must be allowed 'cure' first. This is the crucial element, and the prime reason for the extended delay since last autumn. A temperature of 16C, or higher, is essential for curing to occur, or the track may not bond to the asphalt sub-surface, leading to lifting/bubbling of the track

This week, commencing Tuesday 7th May, all going well, the contractors will move in, and, with good weather forecast for the rest of the week, hopefully the end is in sight

Track Opening

All going well, it is hoped to hold the Official Opening on the evening of the 70th Cork City Sports.  In the meantime, it is hoped that one or two low key events may be held, to 'test' the track

County Development Plan

At last week's May County Board Meeting, it was agreed to draw up a County Development Plan, to assess what needs, and where, are required for the County.  The closure of MTU track for such an extended period, followed by the indefinite closure of the UCC Mardyke Track, was a very rude awakening to the athletics community in Cork

As it stands, Bandon AC's Track is progressing well, but is still a good bit off completion. Planning Permission has been granted for a track in Mallow, but it is unclear when that track will actually commence, let alone be completed. Plans are at an early stage, but seem to have strong support for track in east Cork, and micro tracks are also being developed around the county. It seems that the absence of any track in Cork has galvanised many into action, and this is very welcome. It would seem that we have all been very complacent with regard to track facilities, and became totally reliant on two tracks provided by third level colleges

Hence the recognition of a need for a County Development Plan. At the moment, it is simply a concept, and no scope or terms of rference have been set, however, some of the thoughts expressed last Wednesday included drafting a list of facilities and locations in Cork. Also assessing the local needs for additional community tracks and sporting facilities. Nothing will happen overnight, but its a start .... It would seem that we will have an operational track in Cork again, in the next few weeks....but...Lightning has struck us twice...Let's make sure that it doesn't happen again!
