We at St. Brendans Ladies Gaelic Football Club are delighted to launch our second 10km & 3km Fun Run as part of the Ballygar Carnival Festival. Both races will take place in Ballygar, Co. Galway on Sunday 1st August 2010. Race start time, entry fee and prize information to follow. Parking, registration and changing facilities will be available in the Mattie McDonagh Centre in Ballygar. Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are welcome. Last year we ran a very succesful event with over 100 athletes taking part including pets and buggies!! It was a great family event with refreshments and prize giving after both events. We hope the 2010 event will be even bigger and better.
