Calling all club members and your friends/work colleagues, i was contacted today by the GAA lads who helped out at our tri this year - remember they took us out of a spot with marshal numbers!

Well they are running a 10k in aid of Cancer Research from Ballycarney to Bunclody on Dec 16th and are looking for as many competitors as possible. It starts at 10am from Ballycarney Inn - only requirement is a donation of whatever you like or alternatively get some sponsorship. I will provide cards for anyone interested next weekend, at the Santa day or at the last of the club winter league. No timing chips - this is a charity race, so time it yourself. BTW - walkers welcome also. Spread the word in your workplaces also

It would be great if we could help out with this by participitating and/or marshalling. Those that deal with Facebook, can you put it up there also and ask them to like it :D

Please post your interest to get some momentum

PS - Tom or Dena - could ye spread the word with running club in Ferns and beyond

Pity Frank. Senior cross country is on the same day which take a lot of club runners out of the equation

They picked a very bad day unfortunately, with the senior xcountry u can take 95% of runners out. Pity

Also hopin to do this, (if they dont need me to marshal) but depends on dodgy hamstring. Anyone else available as marshal/walker/runner?

Well done to all the 795ers who took part today. Great turn out of walkers an runners at this event. Orla came second an Mike Ryan came third. Neil O Muiri was in shortly after. Special mention to Yvonne who ran her first competitive 10k
