The Turkey Run

We’ve all been there, the post Christmas turkey blues.  That feeling that you’ve eaten just a little bit too much.

Well, one group of people decided to do something about it last Sunday in Glenbower Wood.

The Irish Mountain Running Association, along with Glenbower Wood & Lake hosted a few runs in the Woods to suit all ages.

There was a 500 metre run for the under 10s;

an 800 metre run for the 10 – 16 year olds,

and a 6 KM run for the adults.

There was a great turnout, with over 130 runners in total, with the proceeds going towards the ongoing maintenance of Glenbower Wood.

The runners all had a great time – the weather was excellent, and everyone was offered refreshments in O’Mahony’s Bar afterwards.  The juniors had biscuits and juice, while the adults went for mince pies and mulled wine.  A great day all round.

The Irish Mountain Running Association puts on a number of events during the year, you can find out more about them at www.imra.ie
