Even if you did not know Mark, please join us to take on the fantastic course in Rathwood and maybe run your PB of 2025!
Mark ran his 1st Marathon in October 2020, he loved to run so that’s why we have decided to do something he loved in his memory each year, last year we were blown away by the support we received, to see the amount of people who turned up on the morning of the 5K was amazing & hopefully with enough support we will be able to run the Mark Mahon 5k each year. The fact that Mark often ran the track in Rathwood makes the event extra special because when we are running it we know that Mark has ran the same path.
Mark was a Private in the 3 Infantry Battalion in Kilkenny, we are delighted that the Defence Force are sponsoring Trophies for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place again this year, which adds a special something to the occasion!
Thank you for your love and support.
