Waterford...Preview of the Brickey 3 and 5 Mile Road Race - Sun 16th Nov (11am)

Coming up next Sunday the 16th of November, there is a road race near Dungarvan in West Waterford at 11am. It's a little unusual in that you have a choice of two distances, 3 miles OR 5 miles. It's even more unusual in that they have prizes based on a persons weight!! All good fun ;o)
