With Cork City Marathon due to take place on Sunday, June 1, organisers are reporting huge interest in the event, with the full marathon already fully sold out.

With just four months to go until the big day, those eager to join the event are encouraged to register now to avoid disappointment, as the other categories are also filling up swiftly, with the half marathon currently at 95% capacity and the 10k race selling fast.

Organisers stress that registration slots can only be bought through official channels, and have warned against purchasing race slots offered via social media to avoid being scammed.

An official transfer window will remain open until Monday, March 3, to facilitate anyone who would like to hand back their ticket and have it allocated to another athlete.

Race organisers are keen to stress that it is important for health and safety that race numbers and athlete details correspond correctly, so going through the official channels to register ahead of race day is essential.

Anyone previously registered to take part in the full marathon who cannot attend is asked to email info@corkcitymarathon.ie with the subject ‘ticket return request’, before Wednesday, February 12, and race organisers will respond as soon as possible.

For those still seeking to register for the now sold out full marathon, a waiting list will be open on the marathon ticket page on Eventmaster until Wednesday, February 19.

Full details of the transfer and waiting list procedure are available on the Cork City Marathon website.

Building on the record-breaking success of 2024, this year’s marathon promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Organised by Cork City Council, the event caters to runners of all levels with three distance options: The full marathon, half marathon, and 10K race.

Each route offers a unique opportunity to explore Cork City’s streets, suburbs, and landmarks, including Blackrock Castle and the Jack Lynch Tunnel.
