Friends of the late journalist Ronan Clarke will take part in a fundraising run this month.

People from the world of farming, the GAA and media will take part in the Ronan Clarke Trial Run on Sunday 26 July.

The event will raise funds for the Mayo Roscommon Hospice and the Killala GAA Benevolent Fund, while also commemorating the late journalist.

His former TV colleague MEP Mairead McGuinness will start the run and present the prizes.

For participants, there is a choice of 5km or 13km courses.
