Ballybunion Half Marathon & 10K 2014

Another Easter weekend event was the 5th Ballybunion Half Marathon & 10K. This years event was dedicated to raise  badly needed money for Ballybunion Sea and Cliff Rescue and repairs to boat house, damaged during recent storms.
The day started with 1K loop around town for all kids, with a chocolate egg as a reward being collected at the finish line. This is a great tradition and should be continued to get more young people involved in physical activity.
It was a great day for St.Brendan's AC with Derek Griffin finishing in second place overall in Half Marathon and Ann McGlynn winning F40 category in 10K (49th overall).
