Results of the Belgooly 4 Mile Road Race - Fri 26th Dec 2008
Last year, they got just over 500 runners for this race and that was a record entry. This year, the number of entries exceeded all expectations as 640 entrants turned out on the day. That is a huge entry for a 4 mile race and as the entry fee was €10, a substanial amount must have been collected for charity.
