Photos show Cork running club members enjoying well-earned street party after the city marathon
Those are the words of Sanctuary Runners Movement Founder Graham Clifford, who said the number of runners doubled the Club's previous record.
After the event, the Sanctuary Runners held a street party on Princes Street, which was attended by over 400 people, including the Lord Mayor of Cork City, Dan Boyle.
'Cork City Council gave us great support once again and we were so proud to run with their crest on our shirts and to welcome the Lord Mayor Dan Boyle to the street party, where he presented our Sanctuary Runner of the Year medals in memory of the late Tony Power, who worked for the council and passed away suddenly a number of years ago,' Mr Clifford said.
DJ Gwada Mike blessed people's eardrums with tunes from across the world, from Nigerian rap music to Cork's own John Spillane, and those in attendance danced and celebrated as one.
Sanctuary Runners in Cork city will continue to meet every Saturday at the Tramore Valley Park, take part in runs by the marina in on Tuesday evenings as well as jaunts from MacCurtain Street on Thursday evenings.
Mr Clifford said everyone is welcome to join, whether you wish to walk, run or jog.
