Mayo Mountain Rescue are proud to Launch this years ‘Run 4 Rescue’. This year our event will continue to be a Half Marathon with the addition of a new 10km section. This will be the first of hopefully many 10km ‘Run for Rescue’ events. The Event is taking place on 8th September this year, and going on our numbers last year, is set to be another success. This year we are also using chip timing. All money raised to go towards equipment and training for Mountain Rescue in Mayo. We are currently finalising plans for this years event and have a number of runners already expressing an interest. Keep an eye on Facebook, and our website for further information.
