Even if you are not a participant in the marathon, there is still plenty for you to do and great ways to get involved. For the past three years we’ve had a fantastic crew of volunteers who played a vital part in making race day such a success. With the growing number of participants, we’ll need even more of you this year! So, if you’re willing to help out on 7th of June 2010 we’d love to hear from you.
To register your interest in stewarding, being part of a water and food-station team, entertaining the athletes, or just supporting the heroic marathoners and team relay athletes on their way round that long, long course, please complete the Volunteers Form and return it to us. The form is available to download as a Word Doc Vols Application form 2010 or as a PDF Volunteers Application Form 2010 (PDF).
Again, this year, the Irish Cancer Society is the designated charity for the Bord Gais Energy Cork City Marathon again in 2010. Last year, there were more than 330 runners with 80 of them taking on the full marathon distance. More than €75,000 was raised to benefit cancer care, support and research.
