Garrykennedy 10k Fun Run - The Garrykennedy Fun Run which was held last weekend was such a huge success that the Organisers have decided to make it an annual event.

Everybody had a most enjoyable day and a sincere thank you to all those who helped out in any way. The total raised thus far is €6,500 approx.
