The 2015 Great Railway Run was held yesterday (18th April) and attracted almost 600 runners this year. There were 247 in the 25k from Cork to Carrigaline, 237 in the 10k from Monkstown to Carrigaline and 100 in the 5k from Shanbally to Carrigaline. You can view photos of the event on our facebook page here. Most of the funds raised will be going towards the new Lions Youth Centre Project in Carrigaline with the remainder going to help other Lion’s Club charities and to support the Carrigaline Roadrunners Association. Over 100 volunteers were involved in the organisation of the event which ran very smoothly and received very positive feedback from many of the participants. Thanks to both the volunteers and participants for making the event such a success and helping to raise funds for the Youth Centre and other charities.
