THE focus this week will be the Inter Firms 5k Road Race-Fun Run on Tuesday night. We had over 200 athletes last year and organisers are hopeful of a good turnout again this year. The race will begin at 7.30 and entries will be taken at Aura from 6pm.
Anyone wishing to pre-enter for the race can do so on Monday night (May 16) from 7 to 8pm at Aura.
Well done to Ivan Toner who finished third in the Ballyshannon 5 k on Friday night. Ivan ran a time of 15.58. The race was won by James Flanagan.
