The 2020 Cork City Marathon has been postponed until September, organisers have confirmed.
It had been due to take place on 31 May but will now go ahead on 6 September.
"The priority for us right now is to do everything we can do to keep you and your families safe," said Race Director and Director of Services at Cork City Council Adrienne Rodgers.
"The Cork City Marathon has been rescheduled until 6th September 2020 and we look forward to welcoming you then for another great Cork City Marathon."
Organisers have confirmed that participants who have already entered will be automatically deferred to the rescheduled date.
Mags Connelly, who is Safety and Ops Director at Davis Events, added: "The last few weeks have been challenging for everyone. We take participant safety extremely seriously and know that with the current strain on emergency resources, we wouldn't be able to provide the world-class response teams needed for our marathon in May.
"The good news for Cork City is that this event will go ahead on 6th September."
