Well done to everyone who took part in our annual Christmas 3km event in aid of St. Vincent de Paul last night in Conna Sports Field. This years event was a very different affair due to covid restrictions, with atheletes setting off in small grouped waves to ensure social distancing requirements were observed.

The restricted interaction and social distancing didn’t dampen peoples spirits with some great running and an amazing €780 raised for SVP at this important time of year.

Well done to all who took part and many thanks for your generous donations! Also a big thank you to all the stewards, starters, time-keepers and covid compliance officers who made the night a safe and fun event for everyone.

Results are as follows:

St Catherine’s AC annual Christmas 3km in aid of St Vincent de Paul takes place next Tuesday the 8th in Conna sports field. All race entry donations go to SVP at this important time of year and there will be a collection point there on the night.
