Fun Run 2015 training starts tonight

Were you there? Some of last year's participants at an early training session.

The weigh-in for the 2015 Fun Run will be held tonight, Thursday 8 January, at the Scouts Den in Kilcullen Community Centre's campus, writes Brian Byrne.

Weighing is between 7-7.30pm and there's a fee of €5. All weights are done by the individuals so no one knows anyone else's weight.

The walk/jog group will set out for its first 3km-5km training session afterwards, and anyone who wants to join in without weighting can do so for a €2 per session fee.

Last year's inaugural event ended with some 240 entries on the day of the actual walk, raising €3,200 for Halverstown NS and St Anne's Special School on the Curragh.

Organiser Grainne McGrath reminds participants that they can follow the food plan of a chosen leader in Operation Transformation, which is back on RTE TV from Wednesday night.
