The fifth hosting of the popular and successful Athenry Fit 4 Life 5km Charity Run / Walk will take place on Saturday November 08th 2014 @ 12.00pm in the town of Athenry.

Proceeds of this years event will benefit two very deserving local charities in Western Alzheimer’s & the Saving Grace Foundation.

This 5km Fit 4 Life race is open to all runners but is primarily targeted at Fit 4 Life members in Galway City, County & neighbouring counties. Many Fit 4 Life runners use this event to take part in their very first race & it often acts as a first step to some successful running careers. This is a race by Fit 4 Life runners for Fit 4 Life runners as the race is organised & run by F4L'ers.

This years event takes place on a new route in the town of Athenry (Same route as this years Athenry leg of the 5k series - only in reverse for a nice downhill finish). Route map available here.
