The Mayo AC Baxter Streets of Castlebar 5k is next up in the rolling wave of local races. The call is still out for help with stewarding etc for the Baxter event, so you can support our fundraiser whether running or not.

Sign up now online at http://www.runireland.com/…/mayo-ac-baxter-streets-castlebar ,  250 t-shirts on offer. You can see the route here http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/644295140

After that it’s back to Ballyhaunis on Tuesday 2nd June for the second 5k Series race, and then on to Ballindine on Sat 6th for Guess Your Own Time 4 mile in aid of Cystic Fibrosis. Our member Dave Huane is a lead organiser there and will welcome your support in the ‘race with a difference’. Always a great spread afterwards and lots of prizes. Details of all these events are on our calendar.

A reminder too to those who intend competing in the National Half Marathon – send your details to Trisha by 1st June.
