At Sir Thomas’s Bridge it will proceed over to Ferryhouse where the athletes will turn left at the Bulmers Roundabout and proceed back to Clonmel to finish close to Barlo Motors on the Davis road.
The Vocational School at the Mall is the race headquarters and entries will be taken there from 10 am onwards. There will be post race refreshments after the race in the School. The Club would like to thank the South Tipperary Vocational Committee for the use of their fine facilities at the Mall. There will also be changing facilities available. This is an ideal run to cure the Christmas festivities and all levels of fitness will be catered for, walkers, joggers, fun runners and everyone are welcome to participate. Entries will be taken from 10 o clock onwards and we would ask as many local people as possible to come early and enter as it will help ease the rush as we get closer to 12 o clock.
