RIP Ciarán O'Lionaird

Remember him winning numerous big under age cross country titles before turning into a world class track athlete.

He went on to win a bronze medal at the European Youth Olympic Festival in Lignano, Italy.

In the final of 2011 World Championships – Men's 1500 metres, he placed 10th.

Despite getting numerous injuries, he still managed to compete at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Such sad news 😭

Cork Marathon Sunday. I can never understand why the marathon winner isn’t the first person to cross the winning line. 10K starts at 8.45am - Marathon 8.15am so the first person to finish will be the winner of the 10K.

WOW. What can I say. What a race.

Ryan Creech (Leevale AC) breaks the course record with a stunning 23:44 winning performance. That man is all class. Can’t wait to see what he does in the coming months.

Michael Harty once again proving age is no barrier with a top class 24:28 run. Not long back after another injury, the man is an absolute warrior and a legend of Cork athletics. (Over 45).

Niamh Allen (Leevale AC) third overall and first female in 25:10. Another sensational performance and she’s proved in recent weeks that she is one of the most exciting Irish distance runners in the country.

Gutted I was working last night. It’s not that often you will see these three top class athletes in the same race.
