Once more we’re delighted to be involved in the Shannon Airport Run.
Take-off is this Friday at midnight and we’re looking for volunteers to act as stewards to ensure the smooth running of the very successful event. If available to assist, please contact Freddy McInerney (086 224 5157).
An estimated 2,000 participants of all grades and ages will gather for the fourth annual event that remains the largest of its kind at an Irish airport and will raise vital funds for two worthy charities, Cahercalla Community Hospital & Hospice, and Home Share Clare.
This year the event will take on a new route, wrapping itself around the airport – both landside and airside – ahead of a grandstand finish outside the airport terminal.
With a four year track record, the event has now doubled in size from its inaugural year, 2014, and this year will again involve a ‘Corporate Challenge’ as companies enter up to 10 staff, with times for the first five finishers accumulating in to an overall team prize for the fastest company.
