MEET Breda Mann, from Daingean, who recently completed her 50th parkrun at Mountlucas parkrun.

My favourite thing is the camaraderie among the group. And it’s a great start to a Saturday morning.
How does it feel to have reached the significant milestone of 50 parkruns?
It feels great especially now that I’m running every parkrun. In the beginning it was more like a leisurely walk!!!
