‘Runegal’ – Ireland’s most spectacular 10k
Ireland’s most spectacular 10K run/walk ‘Runegal 10k’ returns for its third year on Saturday July 14th in Dunfanaghy, Co. Donegal, starting at 2pm. ‘Runegal 10k’ - The Horn Head Challenge – has built a reputation for being one of the more difficult but rewarding routes in the country, with the tough hills competing with the astonishing scenery of Horn Head to take your breath away.
‘Runegal 10k’ has a total ascent of 225 metres to the top of Horn Head giving you spectacular views as you start your descent for a fast final 5 kilometres. The run is officially measured and affiliated by Athletics Ireland and each participant will receive an official race time. The aim of the event is to challenge runners and walkers and give you a change from the usual flat 10k races across the country.
Local man and ‘Runegal 10k’ founder Adrian Boyle believes “people are looking for something more from a 10k run. ‘Runegal 10k’ has grown over the past two years and this year it plans to be even more appealing to runners and walkers”.
Participants can run or walk the route and it’s all in aid of Donegal Hospice, while a welcoming family setting is expected at St. Michael’s GAA club of Dunfanaghy. ‘Runegal 10k’ starts and finishes at the GAA club with an after party planned for Patsy Dan’s.
