The countdown has now begun to Lifford AC's annual Spring 3 Race Series for 2015 with entries already rolling in via on line entry at liffordac.com. This Series is now firmly embedded within the sporting calendar in the North West and is the traditional kick start for 5K runs, pre season training and burning off the Christmas turkey. 


In 2014, Lifford AC had its biggest numbers ever taking part with nearly 400 participants at each race, from the serious runner through to recreational runners, joggers and walkers. For the third year running, the club is delighted to have Dalys XL Supermarket, Lifford on board as partners and sponsors for the Series.

The Series itself sees three races held in three different venues, St Johnston (11th January), Raphoe (25th January) and Lifford (8th February), from which the club draws much of its membership and support. All three events also provide a unique opportunity for the local communities to come out and take part in a family friendly environment promoting health, fun, and providing no small measure of entertainment. Each race participant will receive points, which are accumulated towards the overall Series winners across a range of race categories.

All three courses are AAI certified for accuracy and with chip timing at each of the races, participants can be assured of accurate times for each 5K event.
