A beautiful autumnal morning greeted the participants of last Saturday's Mountlucas Parkrun in Daingean. Over 40 people participated and volunteered, making for a very enjoyable run.

There was a double celebration on the morning, with regulars Patrick O'Keeffe and Paddy Carlyle both celebrating their 50th Parkruns.

There was an added celebration for Paddy, as Saturday was also his birthday, so this was a nice way to mark the milestone.

Another notable feature of the weekend's run was the involvement of Brian Miskelly, who drove all the way from county Down to partake in Mountlucas parkrun.

This was part of Brian's ambition to visit every parkrun in the country.

Parkrun is a free weekly timed 5k event for runners and walkers that takes place every Saturday morning at more than 2,000 locations in 23 Countries across the world.

Mountlucas Parkrun is based at Mountlucas Wind farm outside Daingean, so why not turn up at 9.30 am on Saturday morning to see what it is all about?
