Race 6 of the Healthy Offaly 5K Road Race Series took place on Friday, 30th May in Ballyskenagh, with the switch from Sunday mornings to Friday evenings proving a big hitβevident from the huge attendance.
As always, Ballyskenagh AC delivered a flawlessly organised event. From car parking and stewarding to the famous post-race refreshments, every detail was looked after. The route, which brings runners past the scenic Cistercian Monastery, remains one of the most popular on the circuit.
