Background
My main reason for entering is that I would like the opportunity to test my mental and physical capabilities while i'm still young and foolish enough to do so. Another reason for doing the race is it's location, although I have been living in Shannon, Co. Clare for many years now, I hail from Annagry in Co. Donegal, i'm looking forward to doing an event in an area which holds many great memories. Also, the event is for a very worthy cause, it's great to see people make such an effort.
Massive congratulations to the finishers of The Race 2019. Crossing the finish line is a huge achievement.
An extra special congratulations to our winners!
