Philip Hynes fundraising for Jigsaw
On Sunday the 1st of June I will be running the Cork City Marathon and given it is my first Marathon, I have decided to raise funds for Jigsaw along the way! Jigsaw is a free mental health support service for young people in Ireland aged 12-25, and this felt like the perfect opportunity to raise some much needed awareness for such an important cause! Any support is greatly appreciated!

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.
