CASE STUDY

Cork City Marathon

The Project

Aerial was contracted by Davis Event to capture high-resolution aerial imagery of the Cork City Marathon, operating from several locations across Cork City. The shoot was designed to record the scale, energy, and setting of the marathon route, participants, and city landmarks. Key challenges included synchronizing flights with race timing, ensuring wide coverage of course sections, and managing aerial logistics in urban environments.

The goal was to produce visuals that would serve promotional material for future marathons, with both stills and video footage that showcase the event’s vibrancy and place.
