Dear Parent/Guardian,
Congratulations to all who are currently taking part in our Couch to 5K program. We have been overwhelmed by your support. We are delighted to announce that Hanlon Concrete will be our title sponsor for our 5K Fun Run which will take place on Sunday 26th February at 11am and KFM will be our official media sponsor.
Sonia O’Sullivan, Olympic Silver Medallist and World Champion, will be participating in our Fun Run and she will also be taking part in a special run on the day with the pupils from Robertstown National School. This short run will take place before our main event in Robertstown GAA – details to follow in the coming weeks.
We will be sending sponsorship cards home with all children in early February and would encourage the children to get sponsorship from family and friends for their run with Sonia. All children who take part will be presented with a certificate of their achievement which will be specially signed by Sonia.
Registration is only required for our 5K Fun Run and this is available on https://www.popupraces.ie/events/robertstown-n-s-5k-fun-run/. Places are limited to 500 and we anticipate that the event will sell out. Registration may not be available on the day so please register early to avoid disappointment!! Updates on the event will be available on our Facebook page Robertstown N.S 5K Fun Run
For the event to be a success and run smoothly we will require help on the day from parents. We particularly need your help on the day with marshalling, number pick up and car park attending so if you feel you or a member of your family can assist please contact us through the Fun Run Facebook page, the Robertstown N.S Parents Association Facebook page or the numbers below :

All funds raised will go towards reinstating the Jungle Gym playground in the school. We really need your support for this exciting venture to be the success it can be.
Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the start line !
