Sunday April 10th is the AAI National 10Km Championship, it’s an important race on the AAI calendar and it would be great to get as many DFR’s out running for the club as possible.
It’s run as part of the Great Ireland run, but you register separately as an AAI athlete, you’ll need your AAI number for this and Regina our secretary can give this to you.
