Successful Kilbeggan 10-mile road race
This event is run on part of the old Dublin to Galway Road, from Kilbeggan to Horseleap where it turns left along country roads to Clara before turning left at the outskirts of the Offaly town and the runners have just under 3k to home which includes a 200m grass surface finish area in the grounds of Kilbeggan GAA. On a dry overcast morning the conditions proved ideal for distance running.
Kilbeggan 10-mile race Committee have teamed up with the Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA) as their charity partner this year again.
