A GREAT CROWDÂ is once again expected in Glenswilly for the local GAA club’s annual 5K race.
All proceeds from the event, which takes place at 7.30pm on Tuesday next, June 21st, will go to the development of underage teams at the club.
But although dubbed a race, a major emphasis will be placed on the fun element of the evening and people getting out in the fresh air.

There will be prizes throughout the various categories and everyone who completes the race, both walkers and runners, will receive goodie bag courtesy of main sponsor Michael Murphy Sports.
And the one thing which will be guaranteed on the night is the best of post-race refreshments.
