Mary Riordan fundraising for CUH (Cork University Hospital) Charity in Cork City Marathon 2025
This June Bank Holiday Sunday, I’m running the 10K in the Cork City Marathon and raising funds for the Neuro ward in Cork University Hospital. It’s coming up to my dad’s first anniversary, and he spent many months in the neuro ward in CUH last year. The care he received meant so much to us as a family, and I’d love to give something back. I’ve never exactly been known for my running ability but here we are. If you can donate, even a small amount, it would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

About Cork City Marathon 2025
Organised by Cork City Council, the marathon has three distances: the
Full Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K race. The routes weave through Cork
City’s scenic and vibrant streets and suburbs, past iconic landmarks and along
the bustling quays. The incredible support from Corkonians lining the streets,
paired with the camaraderie among participants, guarantees a memorable day for
all.
The Cork City Marathon is open to all, from elite athletes chasing
records to first-time runners tackling personal goals. It's more than a
race—it’s about community, resilience, and making a difference.
Building on the €200,000 raised for 58 charity partners in 2024, we aim
to double this target in the coming years. With our new tagline ‘Your Race,
Their Hope.’ We encourage participants to run for causes close to their hearts,
making every stride on June 1 count towards vital, life-changing work.
As a full member of AIMs the Cork marathon is IAAF certified.
