It was a blustery morning though with over 370 finishers including a sizable contingent from the Wibbly Wobbly Wonders. Congratulations to you all on completing what may be the first of many 5k races. We’d be delighted to see you register with us for 2020.

Thank you to the support staff at Tramore Valley Park who are a pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to many more races at this lovely venue.
