‘Blue is the colour’ for Friday nights popular annual Castlefin 5k, being run on this occasion in memory of local athlete Adrian Devine.

Adrian, from Clady, passed away suddenly in early January leaving a wife Joanne and three children.

Blue is the recommended colour due to his strong attachment to Castlefin Running Group and Everton FC.

Participants are asked to if possible wear blue in his memory.

Adrian was ever present at all the local running events and was certainly a young man who embraced the challenge of all the various distances enjoyed linking with his running friends on a weekly basis so the shock of his passing shocked the entire community.

No doubt there will be a big turnout and Castlefin Running will go all out to celebrate their late friend on the evening  and all are asked to come along that little bit earlier than usual as large crowd anticipated .

It’s Friday check in at CPI. The run/walk gets underway 7.30.
