Donegal Half Marathon and Fáilte Ireland:

Wild Atlantic Way Manager says Donegal Half Marathon is ideal event to showcase county

The Donegal Half Marathon and Fáilte Ireland have teamed up to promote the Wild Atlantic Way this year, with Fanad Lighthouse the iconic location being adopted as the theme of next month’s event.
The hundreds of participants taking part in the 2021 Donegal Half Marathon, which takes place in Letterkenny on Sunday, August 29th, will receive a medal with a raised image of the famous Fanad Lighthouse as its centre piece.
Joan Crawford, Manager of the Wild Atlantic Way, says the Donegal Half Marathon is an ideal event to help promote the county.
“When the Donegal Half Marathon was initiated back in 2014, the primary focus was on Letterkenny. This year, the organising committee saw it as an opportunity to expand it out into the wider Donegal area. So, we’ve gone with the Wild Atlantic Way theme,” she commented.
“We’ve 39 discovery points along the Wild Atlantic Way in Donegal and the primary focus this year is going to be Fanad Lighthouse. Fanad Lighthouse is one of our iconic signature points along the Wild Atlantic Way. So, it gives us a great opportunity to showcase it both to the people taking part virtually, and to those that are at home,” Joan added.
“It’s our intention to work with the Donegal Half Marathon in terms of showcasing those discovery points all along the Wild Atlantic Way, so we have a partnership that’s going to be here for a long time to come. I think it’s a great incentive to get people involved and collecting those 39 medals that are the discovery points in Donegal.
“The Donegal Half Marathon will assist us in promoting Donegal as a county, to people both at home and abroad. The event had huge numbers taking part virtually last year. There’s an actual race this year, so we’re hoping to see large number participating,” the Wild Atlantic Way Manager said.
This year’s Donegal Half Marathon starts at 9.20 am and will be sponsored by the Kernan’s Retail Group, with support from Donegal County Council, Optum, Donegal Sports Partnership and Donegal Volunteer Centre.

About the organisers:

Rosses AC are a well-established and rapidly growing athletic club who welcome runners and athletes of all abilities from 7 years to 70+ years. Based at Carrickfin, and with our distinctive orange vests, the club endeavors to encourage a spirit of fair play and sportmanship at all times where we believe that Athletics, if done properly, is much more that just ‘running’……
The club is supported by a hard working committee, coaches and volunteers who ensure the clubs’ development. Membership has increased dramatically making us one of the largest clubs in the country with over 330 members in 2020 and on track to improve on the number in 2021. Our athletes regularly contest local, provincial and national competitions annually and we have also had Ireland representation at Underage and Masters levels in recent years. Our juvenile/junior athletes have now returned to competition and over the summer the club will have 70+ athletes aged u9 – 20 competing at County, Ulster and National Championships. Our senior & master athletes continue to lead the way in road competitions county wide.
The club provides a full athletics programme all year around in Indoor, Track & Field, Cross Country, Road & Marathon running and Sportshall at all ages. In 2016 an ambitious 5 year club plan was developed focused on a number of areas around coach and athlete development pathway, enhancing facilities and partnerships within the community to provide a platform for competitive and noncompetitive members of all ages and abilities. Off the field the club is extremely proud of what has been achieved, with the redevelopment of the track surface at Carrickfinn, and more recently lights erected which has been a huge addition over the winter to enable the clubs to train during the long winter evenings. The next phase which has already started is another 5 year plan for 2021 – 2026.
The club has ambitious plans and will continue to drive forward in progressing on a number of key fronts. We are excited and look forward to what the future holds and where we can bring our club. Check us out at https://www.facebook.com/RossesAC.

Ray's Marathon Challenge
2021-01-01 08:00 - 23:59
Welcome to Ray’s marathon Challenge
Do you think you could run or walk 26.2 miles in a week, every week, for a full year? Now that’s a challenge – that’s Ray’s Marathon Challenge.
Ray D’Arcy is a long-time supporter of LauraLynn Children’s Hospice and he loves to run. Ray figured if he could get 1,000 people like him to run or walk a marathon each week during 2021 and each raise €500 over the year that would generate a whopping half a million for LauraLynn.
What do you think? Are you in?

A Message from Ray
As many of you know by now I am a long-standing supporter of LauraLynn Children’s Hospice and the amazing work that they do for families across the country. I am also a big fan of running and training for marathons and marrying the two together I came up with Ray’s Marathon Challenge!
I know if you’re like me, you’ve really missed the community feel of running a marathon and the motivation and strength that you get from feeling like you are part of something bigger and I think that is exactly what we have been able to create with this challenge, even if it is in the virtual world.
The new year is a perfect time to start this and challenge ourselves and I am so delighted that so many people have joined my team for this and have gotten behind it so happy running everyone!

Tri Talking Sport 12 Days of Christmas Challenge
2020-12-01 08:00 - 2020-12-25 17:00
Christmas is fast approaching and although this year might be different to other years due to Covid19, it will still be a time when we get busy with festive activities from Christmas shopping to decorating the tree, watching movies to catching up with friends and family, albeit maybe virtually for the most part.
Whilst this year might see more zoom parties than mulled wine receptions more Christmas coffees outside than dinner parties inside there will be a million and one excuses for the reduction in physical activity. There is no doubt it is a busy time of year and with colder weather the motivation to move can really hit an all time low, so much so that we can often let our let our fitness decrease and our waistlines increase through lack of movement and exercise during December.
But….. if you need some inspiration, motivation or just some accountability to get you moving this December you can sign up now to the Tri Talking Sport 12 Days of Christmas Challenge kicking off on December 1st
The Challenge
The concept is a simple one, commit to completing 12 hours of physical activity over the festive period from December 1st– 25th. Ideally, this would be one hour of activity per day for 12 days, however, this is more about completion than competition so you can decide to complete the challenge over a variety of durations from 30 minutes to 2 hour sessions during the festive period.
Select any form of physical activity of choice; yoga, pilates, running, walking, swimming, cycling, hiking, jogging, fitness class or any other activity that gets you moving, puts a smile on your face and gets the blood rushing through your veins. This free fun challenge aims to encourage you to get moving over the festive period, providing the incentive and support to get an hour of exercise completed on at least 12 days between the 1st of December and Christmas Day, taking time out to enjoy the session and time for yourself each day.
Although the reward for the challenge is in the completion and personal satisfaction, there will be a number of presents and treats up for grabs from Santa’s Sleigh as an incentive for participants to engage in the challenge fully. Register for the festive fitness challenge HERE.
