The hotly-anticipated 2018 Cork City Marathon is just around the corner.

Due to a surge in late entries and registration enquires from those interested in taking part, organisers have made the decision to increase capacity for the Full and Half Marathon and extend the entry deadline for the other categories also.

Even with the increased capacity this year for the Full and Half Marathon categories, there are only 130 and 100 places left respectively.

These will be allocated on a first come first served basis until max capacity is reached.

Entry to the Team Relay, which is always a popular category among runners of all levels, has been extended along with the Youth Challenge from Friday, 11th May to Friday, 18th May.
