Coast to Coasht run passing through Mullingar on Friday

An upcoming fundraising event called Coast to Coasht in aid of Multiple Sclerosis Ireland is happening over three days and will pass through Mullingar on Friday September 1.

Beginning in Dublin's Sandmount Strand on Thursday August 31, Sean Bagnall is running the width of Ireland, culminating at Salthill, Galway on Saturday September 2.

That's 75km a day, equal to 3 ultra marathons, or 225ish kms!

His friend, Murt Cleere will be supporting Sean along the way, and running a half marathon a day with him.

So far, the pair have raised €6,780 of their €8,000 target, so if you spy them passing through Mullingar this Friday, give them a wave, and donate to MS Ireland here, or follow along with the run on Instagram.
