Cork City Sports By Emma
The Cork City Sports is a running race held every year at the end of May for primary school students from senior infants to sixth class. It is currently held in Cork institute of Technology (CIT). Before it was held in Pairc ui Caoimh. There are three different length races 60m, 80m, 100m, and relay. It is also spilt into all boys and all girls races. Each year it rotates for who gets to start first. All 1st and 2nd winners of their race will quality for a county race that is held later in the day and you keep on competing in different races until you get to national level.
I was lucky enough to participate in the races for most of my primary school years and it’s a great day out. Trials take place as early as March/April. 2 boys and 2 girls from 1st to 6th class will qualify. Mrs O Hanlon does all the training to prepare us. The first few years we used to travel by bus and it was so much fun it was like another school tour. The last few years we travelled by parents and would met inside on the grounds. The excitement on the grounds is so good everyone is hyper. St Lachteen’s have been very lucky as local man Mr Patsy Foley does all the MIC on the day so he always gives Donoughmore a big shout out when we come onto the pitch. We had lots of people winning over the years in our school including someone coming 2nd in a county race. Orla Kelleher, Maria Murphy, Oisin Brew Dinan, Ormond Cowman and many more have all won lots of medals at the Cork City Sports.
It can often be the first race for further Athletic stars. Ready Steady Go
