Memories of a fond friend of the Letterkenny parkrun 5K team will be celebrated at a special run this weekend.
Saturday’s parkrun on October 13th will be dedicated to the late Art McGrath, a gentleman who was well-known in many community circles throughout Donegal.
“Art was deeply involved in Letterkenny parkrun and his sudden passing came as a massive shock to his family and large circle of friends many of whom he met at parkrun.
“He enriched the lives of everyone he came in contact with and he was a very popular member of the parkrun team,” organisers said.
The memorial 5k will take place with the normal 09.30 start in the Letterkenny Town Park, but from 10.00 am onwards a special tea will be held upstairs in the Vestry.
“Everyone who knew Art is invited along even though they may not wish to take part in parkrun but would like to be present or are unable to make the 09.30 start,” a spokesperson said.
Donations will be taken at the tea which will be divided between two Charities ” Croi” the Heart/Stroke Charity and “Good and New”.
As always parking is free from 08.30 am until 11.00am for those wishing to attend.
