After the excesses of Christmas, what better way to start the New Year than to run or walk the Bandon Athletic Club Donagh Coughlan Memorial 5 Mile Road Race on Monday 2nd January 2012? Race HQ is at Bandon GAA Pavilion with registration starting at 11am. The walk sets off at 12.30pm and the run at 1pm. Entry is €10 for the run and €5 for the walk. Junior (U20) runners aged 15 years also pay €5 for the run. Both the run and walk start on the bypass, go through the town and out the Kilbrittain Road looping around to finish at the Old Still Bar near the Mart. Prizes will be presented at the GAA Pavilion afterwards where there will also be a spot prize for the walkers. Refreshments will also be served. Full details of the road race can be found on www.bandonac.org
