County Board Officers View Track - Wednesday July 3rd 2024
Prior to Wednesday's July meeting of the Officers of the County Board, the officers, with permission of MTU Management, walked the track to see, at close hand, the progress. There is still some work to be done to some of the field event areas, but this is expected to be completed in time for Tuesday's 70th Cork City Sports, whilst, in the medium/longer term, additional drainage is to be installed around the outer perimeter

Track Markings
Track markings have been painted in each lane for the first time at MTU, and metal tags have also been placed inside the inner rail, so any confusion that may have existed up to now, should be eliminated
