It’s a stressful time when the Leaving Cert results come out, and all too often it seems a change of plan is needed.

This year’s Irish Examiner Cork City Marathon will mark another step towards a ‘greener’ event, as organisers continue their efforts to reduce the single-use plastics accumulated during the race.

The Irish Examiner Cork City Marathon was launched today as both pro and budding runners and walkers were encouraged to sign up and register for the event taking place on June 2.

With children back at school and colleges reopening in the coming weeks, the options for parents or other adults to consider furthering their education are being showcased in Cork over the next two days.
