Over 3,600 participants, including superheroes, run Cook Mini Marathon

The Cook Medical Mini Marathon in Limerick attracted more than 3,600 runners, joggers and walkers on Sunday.

Among the participants were costumed characters such as Batman and Superman, who added a playful touch to the 5km and 10km routes. Competitors travelled from across Ireland to take part in the event, which raises funds for charitable causes.

Organisers expect fundraising to exceed €60,000, reflecting the generosity of participants and supporters each year.

The men’s race was won by Ibrahim Samon of Ennis Running Club, while Dympna Ryan of Dundrum Running Club secured the women’s title.

The marathon, held on the streets of Limerick, continues to be a popular community event that combines sport, charity and a bit of superhero fun.
