Fat Turkey Run

Register Run Ireland

The Fat Turkey Run will be organised alongside and in conjunction with the Fat Turkey Walk http://www.thefatturkeywalk.com/ on the 28th December 2012.
 
The Course will be a slightly different route to last year. The scenic route is a challenging10km course, commencing at St Fintans Church, Sutton, going all the way up Carrickbrack Road, right at the Summit Shop, right again onto Baily Green Road and up to the Summit Car Park (turnaround and aid/water station) and then back down on the same route.  This is the same route that we used for the Caughoo Run in June 2011.
 
The event is to support Suttonians Rugby Football Club (established in 1924) and the IRFU Charitable Trust (Irish Rugby Football Union Charitable Trust was formed in 1978 to assist severely injured rugby players in their everyday lives, and help to restore their confidence and independence).
 
Registration will take place at 09.30 in Suttonians RFC opposite Sutton Dart Station where parking, changing and shower facilities are available.
 
Registration will close at 11.00 sharp to allow participants a short walk/jog to St Fintans Church car park which is the start location. The finish line will be on the grass verge opposite St Fintans Church. The race will begin at 11.30.
 
On completion of the race participants will jog/walk through Sutton cross to Suttonians R.F.C (approx 500 yards) where changing facilities and tea/coffee, biscuits and full bar will be available. Prize giving will take place at the club.
There will also be a host of family activities at the club with live music, several BBQs, bouncing castles etc.  This fun filled family day has been an enormous success over the last number of years.
 
The race will be well supported as the Fat Tureky Walk will be going along the same route. Runners will be guaranteed large support all the way up to the summit and back down.
