Last Thursday, November 30th, 150 pupils from our 5th and 6th classes ran their final mile of the Marathon Kids programme at Morton Stadium in Santry. The children have been running in school for the past 8 weeks, and have now ran the equivalent of a Marathon (26 miles / 42 km). It was a great day, and all the children received t-shirts and medals.
David Gillick was on hand to present the medals to the children at the finishing line, as well as Mayor of South Dublin Paul Gogarty. A big THANK YOU to Alison Casserly and South Dublin County Council for organising the programme. Thank you to the teachers and staff also for completing the programme with the children. And finally, WELL DONE to all the children – we are very proud of your achievements, and we encourage you all to keep up the exercise. Cross Country training starts today, and I look forward to seeing increased numbers in the training.
