    San Francisco Bay Area resident Chris Mocko finished first place in the Cork City Marathon 2017. Mr. Mocko, a member of the Olympic Club, participated in the marathon as part of a sister city exchange between San Francisco and Cork. 

    With 24 different countries and 47 nationalities represented, over 7500 participants took part in the Cork's Marathon, Half Marathon, Team Relay, Inter-Services Championships and Youth Challenge.

    The San Francisco - Cork sister city relationship was formed in May 1984 by then Mayor Dianne Feinstein. In the more than 30 years of this sister city partnership, changes have taken place in virtually all areas of the community - sports, art, culture, education, government and business - all of which have contributed ti increased cross-cultural dialogue and understanding.
