Cork County Board is asking all clubs to provide help in the form of stewards, officials, and other help
This is a Major fundraiser for Cork Athletics, without which the Board could not provide such as T&F, Road and XC Championships, Coaching Courses, Equipment & Safety Grants, organise Cork teams of all categories, and a myriad of other events & activities. It is also the source of funding for Cork Athletics facilities, particularly it's grounds at Riverstick, and, going forward, will, it is hoped, fund other future facilities
In addition the participants raise an estimated €1.3M for their own chosen charities
This event is our Life-Blood - Please Help!
