Thousands set to descend on Cork for World Mini-Games

Up to 5,000 people are due to descend on Cork this week for the inaugural World Mini-Games.

The games will involve everything from dodgeball to barefoot running and two world record bids.

Organisers have called for more volunteers to help with the running of the games, which will take place in the city’s Mardyke area and towns around the county. “We have about 40 volunteers to date, but would welcome more,” said chairman James O’Reilly.
