Cork City Council has confirmed that it will manage the Cork City Marathon next year, after Davis Event Agency (DEA), who had been running the event since 2019, cut ties.

On Tuesday, the DEA “exercised their right to terminate their contract in accordance with its terms and without liability for compensation or damages”. Cork City Council had no prior knowledge that the contract would be terminated.
