There is still time to take part in one of Carlow’s most popular running events. The Charlie Curran Memorial Five Mile run will take place on Sunday 29 January.

The five-mile event starts from Oak Park Road.

This year’s event, held in the memory of the late Charlie Curran Snr from Dereen Heights, will raise funds for two charities – Debra Ireland and Feileacáin.

Feileacáin, the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Association of Ireland, provides support to anyone affected by the death of a baby during or after pregnancy. Debra Ireland supports people with the painful, genetic skin condition epidermolysis bullosa, known as butterfly skin.
