Longford's Cian Gray Memorial Run to continue for a 4th year

The Cian Gray Memorial Run is happening for its fourth year, with all proceeds going towards the Longford Hospice care that helped Cian and his family throughout his illness. The run will take place on Sunday, August 3 and begin at 11:30am sharp.

All vehicles are welcome, with tractors, cars, bikes and trucks included. The starting point is at the Dromad GAA grounds, Legga, Moyne, Co. Longford. It then travels through Ballinamuck, Drumlish, Colmcille, Arvagh and back to Dromard GAA.

Following the previous 3 years, Cian’s run has raised over €70,000 for Longford Hospice centre which aids them to do the great work that they do.

The registration fee is €20 to participate, with tickets scanned on the day, according to the run’s Facebook post.

A raffle, a BBQ and music are included on the day. There are to be 30 spot prizes that are donated from local businesses. The organisers invite participants and spectators to come out to Dromard GAA for the day with a good atmosphere. There are individuals at all locations for donations and raffle tickets, even for those who are just passing by.

For a good cause and to honour Cian’s memory, the Cian Gray Memorial Run has had years of great support, but would benefit from more people getting involved to donate. Everybody is welcome to come.

Alternatively, they have online methods through Eventbrite which can be found via a link on the Facebook/Instagram pages, where it will give the option to buy an entry ticket or donate. Once clicking ‘get tickets’, it will give the option.
