Running against Cancer
Running against Cancer is a Voluntary Running group which was set up in Ballinasloe in 2010 by Ken Campbell and is currently situated at the Dunlo Running track. The whole concept of RAC is to promote cancer awareness and encourage people to adopt a healthier Life style while enjoying the benefits of both Track and road running. RAC training sessions take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 8pm - 9pm at the Dunlo Running track throughout the year and on Sunday mornings we host a road run. All training sessions are Free of Charge and are open to everyone regardless of ability, age or gender. RAC cater for all runners from Novice to pro and also encourage walkers to take advantage of the facilities that are available. To date we have over 90 members and counting All our training sessions are posted on our Facebook page and we also have our contact details on the local Council Page. As there is no Adult athletics club in Ballinasloe, RAC has facilitated those that enjoy both running and competing and to date we have represented Ballinasloe in a multitude of events ranging from 5km road runs to Marathons, Adventure races to Triathlons and lots more. Over the Years our runners have managed to achieve a lot of personal goals and completed events that they would have normally dismissed as not possible One prevailing feature of RAC is that when you run with RAC You don’t Run alone RAC also hosted the Running for Lily-Mae event on January 5th 2013 which raised substantial money for the Sunni-Mae trust and the run was also recognized in the Irish Independents Fit Magazine as a unique event and the first of its kind. We also host the Annual RAC 5 MILE in aid of East Galway Cancer Support Centre in May. Running against Cancer appreciate the current financial situation that both people and businesses are in and therefore don’t fundraise or charge membership but we would appreciate if members did buy either an RAC T-shirt or Hoodie to promote what we do. http://www.facebook.com/runningagainstcancer2013 http://www.ballinasloe.ie/en/CouncilServices/DunloRecreationalPark
