DeCare International in conjunction with the Mayo Athletic Club are hosting a
5-Mile Road Race and Walk in aid of the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation.
The Hospice Foundation's goal is to provide the active total care of patients
whose illness no longer responds to curative treatment. This service enables
patients to live out the remainder of their lives in comfort and dignity,
surrounded by their families and friends.
The race and walk is being held in Claremorris on Saturday the 20th of
September and all are welcome. You can register for the event at the Town Hall
in Claremorris (it's beside Super-Valu at the back of the square) from 4:30 PM
onwards on Saturday. Registration costs 10 euro all of which goes directly to
the hospice foundation and in return you'll receive a free
t-shirt.

| Free T-Shirt for every registered entrant |
Please note that should you want to make a bigger donation to the hospice
there will be representatives available on the day to collect any cash or
cheques. Alternatively, if you have any friends or families that would like to
sponsor you to do the 5-mile walk then we'll gratefully accept any donations
from them too.
The Race and Walk starts at 6:00 PM on Saturday from outside the Western
Hotel on the Old Knock Road (Main Street) and the route is a leisurely 5 miles
going out of the town, past St.Colmans College and out on to the new bypass for
about 400 yards before returning back into Claremorris along the same
route.

Whilst most of us mere mortals will be happy completing the 5 miles at a
walking pace, the runners will be out to claim the prizes and improve their
times so we'll let them off before the walkers.
For those interested in running, the race categories are :
- Senior Men
- Senior Women
- VET Male over 40
- Master Ladies over 35
- Junior Boys Under 20
- Junior Girls Under 20
Best of luck to everyone involved and please pass the word on to your
friends, family and colleagues or anyone who you may think would be interested
in taking part in this event.
