The organisers are extremely enthusiastic for the upcoming event: “We felt there was a need and desire for an event like this, especially in the Corbally area which is fantastic for an event of this kind. We wanted to get the local community involved as well and welcome visitors to this area. Bring the kids along for fun activities and enjoy a beverage afterward in Sarevas who will be providing good food for all race participants.”
