Over 70 take part in Offaly parkrun despite weather conditions

A very cold but bright morning greeted the participants at last Saturday’s Mountlucas parkrun

Over 70 people braved the elements to walk, run and jog the 5km course. Conditions were very cold at the start; however the sun did shine halfway through the run, resulting in a pleasant finish for all participants.

Neil Deere, a regular volunteer at Mountlucas, celebrated his 100th  parkrun on the morning.

Parkrun is a free weekly timed 5k event for runners and walkers that takes place every Saturday morning at more than 2,000 locations in 23 Countries across the world.

Mountlucas Parkrun is based at Mountlucas Wind farm outside Daingean, so why not turn up at 9.30 am on Saturday morning to see what it is all about.
