ENTRIES close this evening for Finn Valley AC’s 5k on Sunday, the opening race in the club’s Jubilee Race Series.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions in the Republic of Ireland, the race will take place across the border in Aghyaran, a popular hub for the Finn Valley AC club over the years.
The series will include 5k, 10k and 10 mile road races over the next couple of months.
Sunday’s race gets underway at 10.15 and there is limited entry.

This race series is a part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Finn Valley AC, formed in 1971. Later in the year, the club hopes to have a celebration dinner while a booklet to commemorate the club’s contribution and success is being compiled.
A unique medallion will be give to participants at each of the three races. A beanie hat will be given to those who take part in the 10k while a special t-shirt is up for grabs at the Glenmore 10 mile.
Finn Valley AC Chairperson and former Irish Athletics Team Manager Patsy McGonagle said:
“The response, so far, has been enthusiastic and we’re very encouraged by this.
“This 5k race is the first race in the area since the lockdown. There have been a number of virtual events, like the Cara, Ballyliffin, RunDonegal Women’s 5k and the Remembrance 10k, but this is now about getting back as near to a competitive environment as possible.”
