The event was set up in memory of the late Tony Donoghue who took part in the first of his fourteen marathons at the age of sixty five, raising thousands of euro for charity in the process.
In 2010 he founded the Moone Kilomarathon and 10k. The Moone Kilomarathon was the first in Ireland, a ‘metric marathon’ of 26.2 kilometres (16.3 miles) rather than 26.2 miles.
The event has raised thousands of euro for Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children Crumlin, Barretstown, Cystic Fibrosis Ireland and our local national school, St. Colmcilles’s in Moone.
Sadly Tony passed away in May 2015.
