Entry is now open for the first Colm Horkan Memorial Run which takes place on 14th February, in memory of the late Detective Garda Colm Horkan from Charlestown.
East Mayo AC have teamed up with Charlestown GAA club to organise the run, which is a virtual event this year, with the hope of adding the race to the calendar from next year.
Participants can walk, run or cycle 5km, 10km, or Half Marathon at their own pace on the day, and can take part from anywhere in the world.
All proceeds from the event will go towards the development of the Colm Horkan Memorial Pitch & Community Walkways project.
Organisers say there's already been an overwhelming response since launching the event, and entries can be booked online at Pop Up Races, while there are custom-designed medals and T-shorts available.
Here is a direct link to booking with more information on the race.
