Almost a week on from the Aisling Murphy event in Tullamore, we once again want to thank the many people who made it all possible.
Very often, the work behind the scenes is never imagined. Itโs not just the work on the day itself that helps pull an event across the line - there were weeks and months of planning, organising, and preparation. That unseen work is what made the event possible, and we are incredibly grateful to each person who played a part.
A special thank you to Offaly County Council for the support with road closures. We are deeply grateful for the permission granted and the assistance from staff both in administration and those who helped set up the course barriers.
An Garda Sรญochรกna Laois/Offaly for their strong presence and assistance.
Fiona Leavy, Barry Minnock and the Centra stores for their generous sponsorship - every finisher received a fantastic goody bag.
The staff of Bank of Ireland for their tremendous support.
Orla Grennan and the staff of the Bridge House Hotel, Tullamore.for complimentary refreshments for our volunteers after the race.
John Cusack and Bridge Shopping Centre for the use of the bathrooms and parking facilities for competitors.
Donal Rigney from Hire Depot.
Offaly Civil Defence for ensuring participant safety.
Tullamore Camera Club for the thousands of wonderful photos taken throughout the morning.
The local newspapers for their coverage and support leading up to the race.
Brian and Anto from Pop Up Races.
To the supporting athletic clubs.
We want to acknowledge the many volunteers around the course. Volunteers are the backbone of every community event, and we truly appreciate every single person who gave their time and energy.
Most of all, thank you to everyone who came to the start line and walked or ran the Aisling Murphy 4 Miler in support of Aisling, her family, the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund and Offaly Athletics.
It was a wonderful day, and the feedback has been amazing. All the hard work was truly worthwhile.
We hope to see each and every one of you again next year.
Once again, thank you.
