5K Bay Relay – Teams of 3 run 5k by the Sea!
After the success of 2011’s inaugural 5K BAY RELAY both COPE Galway and Enable Ireland are joining forces again this year to bring you another 5K BAY RELAY on Thursday 26th April at 7pm this is the first of 2 relay events for 2012 with the second one taking place in July.
The 5K BAY RELAY is a fun challenge for runners, joggers and walkers who will complete a 15km (3 x 5K) relay race along the picturesque Prom from the Claddagh Hall. And this year we’ve added an extra “fun relay” of 3K (3 x 1K) along with the 5K on the night.
Team entry for the 5K is €45 while team entry for the new 1K is just €20 per team of three. Funds raised from the 5K and 1K BAY RELAY will support the work of both COPE Galway and Enable Ireland.
The 5k BAY RELAY provides an opportunity for people from across Galway to participate in a novel team running event. It doesn’t matter whether you are a keen runner chasing that elusive PB, taking on the 5K Series in the coming weeks or just want to challenge your colleagues and your boss to a race or just want to have some fun with friends and family; this is a novel and fun event for everyone. Entry categories are as follows: Athletes/Triathletes, Company Teams (teams made up of 3 employees from the same company) and the General Public. A selection of prizes will be up for grabs across all categories on the night.
Admission is open to everyone, you don’t have to be a fitness enthusiast to join in the fun and make a difference. All participants will be provided with a timing chip and race number giving them an opportunity to chase a 5K personal best or set out on your first ever timed running race. Details on the post race party will be announced in the coming weeks.
