Wexford Credit Union Night Run 08/02/24
On Thursday evening the extremely heavy rains of the morning had eased to a heavy mist but leaving very wet roads to run on. A huge well done to all the organisers and marshals for keeping everyone safe on such a wet night. With over 350 finishers this was another successful event and everyone enjoyed the run with the rain just adding to the fun. Great to see so many club members taking part with everyone running very well despite the conditions with 19 in total from the club.
