Mullingar Shamrocks 5K Run

Mullingar Shamrocks 5K run takes place on Sunday next at 11.00am. This is a fully accredited AAI event. Adrian Buckley will be in charge of registration which starts at 9.30 am in the Clubhouse in Springfield. This is a family orientated event with the emphasis on participation for all with an emphasis on the fun side of exercise. All are welcome and you may run, walk or crawl the 5K. The serious athlete is also catered for and valuable cash prizes are on offer for the early finishers. If you need an easy outing to fine-tune the body before the half-marathon later in the week this is the ideal event. The run starts at the club’s GAA pitch and follows an interesting flat route that skirts the banks of the canal before winding its way back to the finish at the Clubhouse where all sorts of goodies and refreshments will be available to undo the good of the just-completed exercise. This is also a fund-raising event for the club and there is a modest entry fee of €10 with a general (and generous) family entry fee of €20.  So clear a space in the diary for a bit of gentle exercise or a serious gallop for Sunday morning, 13 March at 11.00am.
