A massive thank you to Ray O’Connor who bailed us out in an emergency last Saturday. With Operation Transformation coming to town we were very concerned that we were not going to have enough paint for the extra numbers in the colour run and Ray very kindly loaned us boxes of powder that RunIreland had left over from a colour run earlier this year as well as loaning us the RunIreland race gantry for use as the finish line for the colour run.

For the adult runners amongst our members and the parents of of our juveniles, you should check out the superb Galway Bay races organised by Ray and his legendary Connemarathon races. The Galway Bay races are expected to sell out this weekend – click on the image below for more details if you are interested in taking part. Many notable athletes have graced this race and its predecessor the Galway Bay 10 in the past including runner 5297 in 2006 :-).
