Ballyhoura Active Series 2nd race gave successful results
The recent Ballyhoura Active Series was dedicated to the late Michael (Curley) Cunningham who passed away in 2017.
The 2nd race in the Ballyhoura Active series took place on Friday the 10th of May. It is a 4-mile race and held in honour of the late Michael (Curley) Cunningham who passed away in 2017. The evening was sunny and bright but as the race started, so did the rain. This did not deter the runners and walkers. Over 200 participants ran and walked the stunning 4-mile loop in the gorgeous Galtee region.
