David Kirwan led home 409 runners at the Raheny Shamrock Park Run Day in St. Anne’s Park on Saturday afternoon.
On a special humid October morning in St.Anne’s Park, the 203rd occasion of the St.Anne’s Parkrun, Raheny Shamrock Athletic Club provided all stewards and race officials, a way of saying thank you to the organisers of the St. Anne’s Park Run.
At our heart we are a community club who endeavor to promote Raheny and the surrounding area.
While organising a parkrun is an honour, the icing on the cake is providing the first runners home as David Kirwan and Ailis Murtagh were first man and woman over the line in St. Annes Park.
