St Colman's 5k Family Fun Run/Walk

11th Jun 2023

It was with some trepidation that we opened our curtains to check the weather this morning. After hearing weather reports of a break in the good spell and some showers on the way, we were delighted to be greeted by a warm, dry day. Perfect for our 5K Family Fun Run/Walk! We were very grateful to the Civil Defence who were on hand to assist with any emergencies that might arise. 

The race began just outside the gates of Shamrocks G.F.C. grounds at 1.30pm. The serious runners were up at the front and everyone else followed at their own pace. All ages took part - from the very young in prams, to the not so young, and everyone in between - there were even a few family pets! 

Afterwards, many returned to the school for refreshments and a chance to chat with friends. Thanks to everyone who helped in any way and of course to all those who took part. A great success and one we hope to repeat again next year!
