Loughrea AC 24 hour Walkathon for improvements at Bushfield

Loughrea Athletic Club has been a part of the community of Loughrea since 1968. An urgent project the club must now undertake is to upgrade the road and carparking facilities so that everyone can come and enjoy the facilities at Bushfield in the smoothest, safest way possible. POsting on their Facebook page, Loughrea Athletic Club said:

he club is hosting a 24 walkathon in our grounds in Bushfield, starting at 9am on Saturday 25th June and finishing at 9am on Sunday 26th June. This will be a unique and fun event that people of all ages can enjoy. Come to Bushfield and walk, run, jog or shuffle for as long or as short as you like. We just need to keep things moving for 24 hours!

We are particularly proud of our home and grounds at Bushfield, Loughrea. Bushfield is a facility that is extremely important not just for athletics and members of the Athletic club, but for the wider community of Loughrea. The grounds at Bushfield are also currently used by Loughrea Gaelic Football Club, Loughrea Soccer Club, and Galway Footgolf. Bushfield has never been more in use with countless training sessions, matches, competitions and group activities taking place.

There is no entry fee to participate we are just asking you to donate to the cause. If you do not wish to participate maybe your friends, family or business could sponsor this unique and fun event! Any help would be gratefully appreciated. The funds generated from the event will help us to achieve our goal to keep an important community facility going .

For more information keep an eye on our social media pages, website, local newspapers and radio or contact any of the Athletic Club committee members.
So come on out! Be part of it! Get involved for your community! Bring the family! Bring the kids! There may even be a refreshment or two for those who join us.
