We really love this running lark

With weather absolutely atrocious over 200 "Fun" runners went out on the course and "enjoyed" a nice run in the Paddy Byrne Winter League!!!

You say: Are they mad?

One fun runner said "Not at all, once you're wet you ain't getting any wetter!"

Waterford Roadrunners say "Thats the attitude, and €2000 was raised for the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund" it can't be bad.
