Galway Simon Community have just launched their Kick Assphalt 10/10 Run which takes place on Sunday June 28th 2015 along the Promenade in Salthill.
The Bon Secours Hospital has been announced as the main sponsor for the event again this year. Speaking about the announcement, Gerry Burke, CEO of Bons Secours Hospital said “We are delighted to be partnering with Galway Simon Community again this year for their biggest fundraiser of the year. Simon does great work providing services for the homeless in Galway and we are proud to support them as part of our commitment to the local community”.
Participants can choose from either a 10KM or 10 mile distance. For first time participants in this run or for participants trying to clock up a personal best, the 10KM is the perfect match. At this distance, you can participate by running, jogging or walking. For participants who are looking for a greater challenge, the 10 mile run will suit. This distance is a great way to train for a half or full marathon.
Both routes for the run are flat and fast and will allow you to take in the beautiful scenery of Galway Bay. Participants must be 18 years of age or over. Every participant will be provided with a Timing Chip, Race Medal and Technical Running T-Shirt.
Galway Simon is running a 15% Early Bird offer of €21.25 until the 8th May 2015 and after this date the full registration fee of €25 will apply. Register today on www.galwaysimon.ie or call 091 394638. Proceeds from the event will go towards providing services for those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Galway, Mayo and Roscommon.
