A great turnout on Saturday morning last for the 2015 Runegal in aid of St Michael’s and Pieta House.

10k winners were: Male 1. Sean Murphy in 36.30 (ten seconds improvement on last year), 2. Ronnie Kidd,3. Kevin Shiels.
Female 1. Claire Richardson 52.09, 2. Catherine Reavey, 3. Robyn MacIntosh.
1st Local John McClafferty.
5k winners: Winner Cameron Jenkins, 1st lady Fiona McClelland. Juvenile boy Max Roarty Juvenile girl Aoibhinn McGinley.
Thanks to all participants for supporting the event and well done to all – it is a challenging 10k and 5k which will not give you a personal best time for the distance but should give you a huge sense of satisfaction for finishing it.

Thanks for all the support from St. Michael’s – the organising committee, the tea ladies, the marshalls, the route planners, the Guards, the registrars, the gantry collector, the photographer – a great team effort from all which led to a successful and enjoyable day.
