You know the way it is. You say to yourself, "I'm going to do that race. I'm definitely doing that race". Then, a couple of weeks later you talk with someone who tells you they've actually entered the race and you realise that you haven't, and that you're too late now.

Well.....! The closing date for the Champion Sports Cork City Marathon is tomorrow Friday the 9th of May

Get your entries in and don't forget to support the main race sponsor Champion Sports (www.champion.ie) Without such generous sponsorship races like the Cork City Marathon just wouldn't happen.
