RECORD numbers of people are expected to take part in the Regeneron Great Limerick Run, with the countdown to the event now on.
Taking place on May 4, the Great Limerick Run has been widely hailed as the largest mass participation event outside of Dublin.
The event has been growing in popularity since the inaugural race in 2010, with over 105,000 people having crossed the finish line since.
Last year saw just under 14,000 participants and organisers believe this year could see even more.
Since its launch, the Great Limerick Run has raised €4.5 million for various charities while simultaneously contributing €36.5 million to local and regional businesses.
Among the charities partnered with the run this year were Little Blue Heroes, Limerick Animal Welfare, Down Syndrome Limerick, Clionas Foundation and Milford Hospice.
