Keeping Cork Active
As part of Men’s Health Week 2026 (June 15–21), Cork Sports Partnership is encouraging men and boys across Cork to take part in their local Parkrun on Saturday, June 20th.
Parkrun is a free, weekly 5km event that takes place in parks and open spaces across the county. It’s open to everyone — whether you prefer to walk, jog, run, or volunteer — making it one of the most inclusive and accessible ways to get active.
Taking part in a Parkrun is a simple but powerful way to support your health and wellbeing. It offers:
✅ A relaxed, welcoming environment
✅ The opportunity to go at your own pace
✅ A chance to meet others in your community
✅ A consistent, free and accessible way to stay active
For many, Parkrun is about more than exercise — it’s about connection, routine, and feeling part of something positive.
There are a number of fantastic Parkrun locations across Cork, including:
📍 Ballincollig Regional Parkrun
📍 Tramore Valley Parkrun (Cork City)
📍 Midleton Greenway Parkrun
📍 Macroom Castle Demesne Parkrun
📍 Mallow Castle Parkrun
📍 Clonakilty Parkrun
📍 Glengarriff Parkrun
📍 Bere Island Parkrun
📍 Castlehaven Parkrun
📍 Pobalscoil na Trionoide Youghal Parkrun
📍 Glen River Parkrun
Each location offers a unique setting, but all share the same welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular participant, Saturday, June 20th is a great opportunity to take part and support Men’s Health Week.
Bring a friend, family member, or colleague and take that first step together. No matter your fitness level, you’ll be encouraged every step of the way.
