Flora Womens Mini Marathon

YOU DID IT!!

A big thank you to all the women who ran and walked the Flora Women's Mini Marathon for Sightsavers this year! We were delighted with the turnout despite the downpour which lasted the whole race.

Newstalk's Orla Barry led the team and everyone crossed the finish line damp but in good spirits. Fingers crossed for some sunshine next year.

Here's some photos of the team preparing for the race.
