Dig out your runners! Dust off your shorts and get running... A series of 5km races will take place around Galway on Tuesday evenings during May, as follows: * Athenry, 1st May [Venue, Newcastle Community Centre] * Tuam, 8th May [Venue, Palace Grounds] * Craughwell, 15th May [Venue, Community Hall] * Loughrea, 22nd May [Venue, Temperance Hall] * Galway City, 29th May [Vanue, Dangan Sport Grounds, NUIGalway] Each race will commence at 8.00pm. Five Galway Athletics Clubs will once again come together this spring to organise a series of fun 5K road runs for adult runners and walkers in the county. The series of runs are intended primarily to encourage participation and will be 'no-frills' events. There will be no prizes for winners but plenty of encouragement for everyone taking part. Runners or walkers can just turn up on the night and enter for individual events or for the entire series. Entry fees are small at Euro 5.00 per run or Euro 15.00 for all five nights. The final event in the series will be followed by a get-together in Kelehans of Bushy Park [just beside Dangan] where plenty of spot-prizes and plaudits will be distributed. These races are ideal for anyone preparing for the mini-marathon or other races in the summer. Registration will be on the night 7.15-7:45pm. More details are available at www.athenryac.com
