The reopening will come as welcome news for Ireland’s Cork-based Olympic athletes who have not set foot on a track since mid-March despite tracks being permitted to reopen from Monday, May 18. A statement released by CIT to the Irish Examiner said the track will reopen on Monday, June 29, “to coincide with Phase 3 of the Guidelines as set down by Government”. It is expected that the UCC track will reopen at the same time as the wider sports campus at the Mardyke.
