In a vibrant display of colour and energy, one hundred enthusiastic runners braved the Gairmscoil Chú Uladh Colour Run on Tuesday.
The run was organised by the Coiste Sláinte of G.C.U. in conjunction with both the ‘Healthy Promoting Schools’ and the school Physical Education Department.
Seaghan Mac Cormaic a 5th year student at Gairmscoil Chú Uladh took the honours closely followed by 2nd year students Seaghán Ó Baoill and Shay Ó Deoráin. First year pupil Erin Nic Fhionntaigh was the first girl over the line followed by Íosold Ní Mhaonaigh. (See below for the full results)
The Senior Mens competition was very much a community affair with School Caretaker Kevin Mac Daibhidh first over the line making this his third win in a row.
The school extends a buíochas mór to Herbie and Teresa @ Northwest Chip Timing for an excellent job as always, Get Fresh catering for sponsoring the refreshments and Fintown Harps who kindly sponsored the paint on the day. Go dtí an bliain seo chugainn!
