Limercik... Results of the Bilboa AC 10k & 5k - Fri 15th June 2018

It's always interesting to look at the numbers for a race like this which has been going for a number of years to see if there are any trends. This year, the 10k dropped to 96 finishers which is the lowest since at least 2007 (not sure what year the race started?). The 5k was also down with 34 finishers.

It seems to follow a trend of other races in Munster as the number are dropping gradually. It's hard to know what the exact reason is but there does seem to be a drop off in adults under the age of 35 coming into the sport.
