Are you joining ray in his athlone 5k
Up to 1,000 people are expected to join SPAR and Ray D’Arcy for 5k in Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT) tomorrow Tuesday September 16.
The lunchtime run will see the popular Today FM presenter broadcast his morning show live from AIT’s campus.
“When we began these events four years ago I hoped to get a lot of people turned on to running, with the hope that it might be the start of something new for them – a new and healthy lifestyle that they will embrace for the rest of their lives,” said Ray D’Arcy today.
Anne Gallagher, SPAR Marketing Manager said since beginning this initiative four years ago, over 20,000 people have taken up the 5k challenge.
The Join SPAR and Ray for 5k Athlone event is being organised locally by the AIT Athletics Club.
Paul McNamara, Athletics Ireland’s Development Officer on campus said: “It is great that Athlone has been chosen as one of this year’s locations. We’re delighted that so many people have signed up for what promises to be an enjoyable event and to fly the flag for Westmeath.”
