In a press statement, the organising committee said: “We are hugely indebted to Noel and his staff at Roscommon Sports Partnership. Without their help we would not be able to provide quality training by fully qualified tutors.
“So, if you are a complete beginner, or an experienced athlete, if you are a walker, a jogger, a runner or indeed if you want to set yourself a challenge to improve your health and fitness, this is the place for you. Children (must be accompanied by an adult), grannies grandads, etc… everyone is welcome to what is a fun and challenging experience. No matter what level of fitness you are currently at there is a place for you on our training programme.
