ST PATRICK'S DAY 5K RUN IN STRABANE What a very sucessful and well organised event. NHIP funded the event which was held in the Melvin Leisure Centre in Strabane. We had 342 participants cross over the finish line (this did not include the kids fun run before hand), a very well done to each and everyone of you.... This run was to encourage everyone of all ages to get up and out no matter if it is to either walk, jog, or run it was all about the community getting together to ...improve their health and wellbeing.
The main race itself was in around the centre of the town and it provided a great opportunity for the local residents to come out and support the people who in turn supported our local charity – THE COMMUNITY RESCUE GROUP. The event was in conjunction with Strabane & District Caring Services, Derry City & Strabane District Council, O’Neills, Sigersons GAA and the local sports clubs.
