THE 200th Letterkenny Parkrun took place on Saturday with another big crowd in attendance.

The Parkrun has been running for the last four years now and has proved a huge hit.

It is a free weekly 5km event for runners, taking place at 9.30am at the St Conals Hospital campus, taking in the Bernard McGlinchey Town Park.

The Bishop of Raphoe, Alan McGuckian, SJ, is a regular participant and he was among the many who took part on Saturday in the latest landmark run.

As always, participants were treated to refreshments afterwards in the Vestry Building. 

In the 200 runs so far, there have been an average of 70 runners per week. The biggest attendance saw 268 take part.
