Co Kildare runners clock up 26,200 miles for Irish Cancer Society

Dedicated Co Kildare runners have accumulated almost 26,200 miles raising almost €30,000 for the Irish Cancer Society.

While fundraising in aid of the Irish Cancer Society the club has long since smashed the original target of €10,000 and like all good distance athletes reset the goal to €26,200 representing the training mileage and final lap of honour of 26.2mls at the Dublin City Marathon earlier this year. All monies have been counted and lodged and today the total stands at €26,834.48.

Fundraising included a  Relay for Life, Dunnes Stores bag packing,  a table quiz, a 20 mile marathon training run, Cunnighams Black Tie event and good old fashioned sponsorship.
