The Sonia O'Sullivan Cobh 10 2019

RACE REPORT

The 2nd running of the Sonia O'Sullivan 10 mile hosted by Ballymore Cobh A.C. was another roaring success. Everything about day was perfect, from ideal running weather conditions, highly organised, superb start and finish line entertainment, and a great field of participants. Sonia was on hand to greet and give all participants a friendly and very welcoming visit to her home town of Cobh.

This years associated charity was Breakthrough Cancer Research with many participants raising funds by running the event. Spar was also contributed to making the event a success for the host club.
