Temporary Road Restrictions in Castlebar on Sun 4th May for Mini Marathon

Castlebar is gearing up to welcome close to 2,500 women from all over Ireland for the 5th Western People West of Ireland Women's Mini-Marathon on Sunday 4th May.

The event is expected to attract large numbers of participants, supporters, families, children and friends. To date the mini marathon has raised more than €1 million for good causes, benefits local sports organisations, helps to deliver participation programmes for people with a disability / other target groups and also brings benefits to the local economy. It's a win win for all concerned.
