Cork County Masters Cross-Country Championships in Bweeng 11 January 2026

We only had one runner in today’s championship and it was cross country at its best, meaning conditions were nothing short of horrendous - howling wind and driving rain. It was decided to shorten the men’s course to 6km right at the start line, because there were still women on the course and the 100 or so freezing runners did not object to start as soon as possible. Three big loops, up and down and up and down, four long zig zags uphill with gale-force crosswinds that made running in a straight line impossible, but it gave some great photos!

There was a lot of commotion after the finish line with a few “… never seen anything like this before …” remarks, but an elevated sense of achievement prevailed.

André Brodkorb won Silver in M55 – happy days.

New c2 5k starting next Wednesday @ 6.30pm. Please pass the word around.
