Race number 1 in the clubs Michael Roche carpets series for 2016

The 23rd Annual Murray's Pharmacy sponsored Brickey Run was held last Sunday in idea running conditions. The great race organisers  and the super weather were contributing factors plus the course and distance this year which revered back to the 5k distance which it seems is the popular choice among runners presently all added to what turned out to be the largest number of participants in the 23 year history of the event, with just shy of 200 runners and another 80 walkers taking part, it was a real community effort by the organisers Glenbeg National School and they are to be congratulated on the effort they put in getting the local community out and about last Sunday. The proceeds from the day's race were donated to the school. It was also great to see and worthy of a mention the various fit4life ,couch to 5k and lets Run groups who targeted this race, they also helped to make the numbers so big this year.
