MORE than 10,000 people took to the streets for the Cork City Marathon, which was won by Polish runner Pawel Kosek, with a time of 2:23:54.
The first woman to cross the finish line was Olympian Aoife Cooke, with a time of 2:56:33.
The event took place in glorious sunshine, with heat an issue even at the 8.15am start for those that were taking on the full marathon.

Some 550 international participants from 26 countries participated in the marathon, and more than 500 volunteers worked hard to make the big day happen.
Race director Eamon Hayes told The Echo that entrants this year had so far raised over €150,000 for local and national charities.
