If you plan cycling the marina on Wednesday morning:

Cork City Council Public Notice: Temporary traffic diversions will be in place on a section of Marina Promenade Wednesday morning, 10 June to facilitate a delivery of trees.

The minor diversions will be in effect from 6am to 9am on the Marina Prom plaza near the Holland Park Playground while the trees are being unloaded.

Pedestrians access will be maintained, and we would urge pedestrians and commuters to be aware of truck movements in the area during this time.

Bicycle helmets are controversial. While they can undoubtedly be a great tool for the safety of cyclists, many people refuse to wear them for a multitude of reasons. Some claim that a helmet messes up their hair, others think it looks uncool, a sizeable share just think it's uncomfortable and that a helmet is difficult to transport. But there are also bigger scale arguments against mandatory helmet wearing: Studies have shown that a critical mass of bike riders and traffic participants who look after one another is the most effective way to reduce serious biking accidents on a population level. While the decision to wear a helmet when biking is always a good one on an individual level, prescribing helmet wearing to a whole population can have unintended side effects, like decreasing bike use and creating fines that disproportionately affect populations with less access to resources and information. It can also be viewed as putting the onus of safe biking on cyclists alone.

Check marathon maps and schedules before you will go cycling this Sunday:

Detailed route maps for each race are available via the official website: https://www.corkcity.ie/en/cork-city-marathon/maps

Race day is very much a city-wide occasion, and supporters play a central role in the atmosphere.

The public is encouraged to line the streets, bring energy and support runners throughout the course.

Recommended viewing points include: The Lough and Washington Street, while the Carrigrohane (Straight) Road and Mardkye Walk are also great vantage points (accessible on foot only due to road closures).

With the new finish line on Grand Parade, the city centre will be a key focal point for spectators, alongside a number of locations across the route where encouragement can make a real difference in the later stages of each race. Spectators are encouraged to share race day moments using the following hashtags:

Those who would like to support the family and friends of Ellen Cassidy, who are running in her memory, are asked to wear yellow or hold a yellow banner.

Temporary road closures, diversions and traffic restrictions will be in place throughout race morning and early afternoon.

People should check information on road closures, diversions and access routes on the official website in advance of race day. Anyone travelling in or through the city is advised to plan ahead.

Organisers acknowledge and appreciate the continued support and patience of residents, businesses and commuters in facilitating an event of this scale.
