Michael celebrates his 50th parkrun!

A total of 55 participants braved the strong winds and potentially wet morning for Parkrun number 156 at Mountlucas last Saturday.

Thankfully the rain held off, the winds calmed and the sun even peeped out for a few minutes.

Michael Kearney celebrated his 50th parkrun. What makes this even more impressive is that Michael only started his parkrun journey at the Mountlucas 100th parkrun, which means that he has completed 50 of the last 56 parkruns at Mountlucas.

In case one thinks that he stayed in bed for the other six, this is not the case but instead he volunteered on those mornings. Well done Michael, a true supporter of Mountlucas parkrun

Mountlucas Parkrun is based at Mountlucas Wind farm outside Daingean, so why not turn up at 9.30am on Saturday mornings to see what it is all about. See https://www.parkrun.ie/mountlucas/ to register and for more details.
