Clonliffe Harriers have launched the annual ‘Christmas Cracker 5k’ to be held on Sunday December 16th at 11.00am.

Clonliffe are delighted to announce that the race is once again being run in partnership with European Recycling Platform. The ERP 5k Christmas Cracker is offering the chance for all entrants in the race to win a Samsung LCD TV, a Sony MP3 Player or a portable DVD player. To be in with a chance to win one of these prizes it is simply a matter of bringing along on race day a used battery operated or electrical appliance or ten used batteries. You will then be entered into a draw which will take place immediately after the race.

The 5k Christmas Cracker itself takes place on the roads around the Morton Stadium in Santry and finishes on the track in the Morton Stadium. Last years inaugural affair was won by Joe Warne with the women’s race won by Sara Treacy.
