Glen River

The Glen River parkrun begins and ends near the Glen Avenue entrance of the picturesque Glen River Park, nestled in a hidden valley in Cork City. This engaging three-lap course guides participants along the winding banks of the Glen River, passing scenic local lakes, wetlands, and the historic limestone cliffs that line the valley walls. Runners enjoy a sheltered route through lush woodland and vibrant green spaces, providing a peaceful escape within the urban landscape. The terrain is run entirely on permanent tarmac paths and is notably undulating, featuring a significant and rewarding hill that challenges participants on every circuit. This professionally organized event is celebrated for its high-spirited atmosphere and the unique, rugged beauty of one of Cork’s most cherished community parks.
