Each runner put in maximum effort and ran with great determination to finish their race. 🤩
A special mention to Fiadh who finished in 5th place out of over 90 runners and to Saul who finished in the top 30 out of over 90 runners 🏃 🏃♀️
Chuaigh foireann na scoile chuig Rás Trastíre Flahavans i nDunleath. Cúrsa crua a bhí ann leis an fhearthainn a thit thar an deireadh seachtaine ach chuir siad an-iarracht isteach ann. Comhghairdeas libh 👏🏃♀️🏃
