Athletes of all standards will gather in Borrisoleigh on Tuesday night next (25th) for the sixth annual running of the Borrisoleigh 5km which is sponsored by Declan Maher Financial Services.

The Track-Attack Perpetual Trophy and €300 is up for offer for the winning club team. A team consists of 3 men and 3 women but cannot any of the athletes that finished in the top 3 individual placings. Winners of the overage and junior events are permitted on a team.
Other prizes on offer are hand crafted Irish slate trophies for the first finisher in the Over 40, 50 and 60 grades and also the Under 18 grades. There is also a category for the first Track-Attackers to finish. Up for grabs also will be Borrisoleigh 5km mugs for every 25thfinisher.
