Killyclogher St Mary’s / Cappagh GAA Club have launched their Annual Killyclogher 10K Road Run and 5K Fun Run and Walk.
The popular event, which is now in its fifth year, takes place on Saturday 23rd May from the Killyclogher GAA Clubrooms at Drumnakilly Road, Omagh. The organisers, Killyclogher St Mary’s GAC, launched this year’s event this week. Keeping to the old adage of not changing a winning formula once again the same flat course is being used and, once again, the generosity of main sponsors Strathroy, O’Neills, Northern Road Markings, KES Energi and Dún Uladh with the support of 32 other local sponsors will ensure the best for the day’s event.
The Killyclogher 10K Road Run, together with a 5K Fun Run and Walk, has become one of the most popular in the year’s calendar of Road Runs. An attractive flat course, chipped timing, good stewarding and warm hospitality have ensured that runners keep coming back as well as new runners taking part each year.
Last year’s winner was Martin Cox who came home in a time of 34:29. He was followed home by Peter Neill (34:31) and Fergus McGirr (34:35).
In 2014, the Ladies race was won by Sperrin Harriers Pauline McGurren in a time of 39:09 and was followed by Anne Moore (43:31) and Patricia Campbell (44:59).
There will be T-Shirts for the first 200 entrants. Pre Entries can be downloaded from the Killyclogher GAA website (www.killycloghergaa.com) or can be booked online on the Athletics NI website.
This year Killyclogher GAC continue their association with the local charity “Gina Carrigan Forget Me Not” which has a strong connection with the Club. They have also added The Enda Dolan Foundation this year due to the strong ties between the Club and the Dolan family.
Both for those who take their running seriously and for those who run on a more casual basis the good news is that the Killyclogher 10K Road Run goes ahead on Saturday 23rd May 2015.
With just 6 weeks to go it is time to register and there is also time to do some practical preparation.
