Lough5 Lough 5 Road Race/Walk on 31st December On New Year's Eve, the village of Loughmacrory, Co.

Tyrone welcomes runners from far and wide to their annual 5-mile road race. Participation has grown each year since the race began in 2009 and now up to 1000 walkers, runners and joggers complete the scenic route. For the competitive runners cash prizes are on offer for the first three male and female runners, the first two in each age category, the first male and female team (with three to score)

and there is a cash bonus for anyone who can break the course record. The always-popular 2.4km children's race for primary school ages means the whole family can get active on the day. Starting at 11:45 am the run begins through the village and finishes with a lap of the lough. The organisers wish to thank main sponsor Daly's of Carrickmore and all our sponsors for their continued support. All proceeds go to local charities the Termonmaguirc Cancer Patients Comfort Fund and the Friendly Care Group Termonmaguirc. For online entry, directions, past results, more information and links to our visit www.lough5.com.

This is why we do it, folks! πŸ™Œ

Every year we’re blown away by the growing number of participants taking on the Lough 5 and the kids’ fun run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’¨ β€” and this year was no exception!

πŸ’₯ Record-breaking numbers came together at the Lough, making it our most successful event to date! πŸŽ‰

Last night, we were proud to present a fantastic Β£13,000 to our two incredible local charities , Termonmaguirc Friendly Care Group and Termonmaguirc Cancer Patients Comfort Fundβ€οΈπŸ‘

This support will go such a long way in helping both organisations continue their amazing work for the community πŸ’–πŸŒŸ

So once again from the bottom of our hearts thank you to each and every one off you πŸ™ and we look forward to welcoming you all back to the Lough 5 2026! 😎

πŸ₯‡ we should also mention that the medals are still on route, we do appreciate your patience while you wait and the minute they arrive we will let you know ☺️

Thank you

πŸ₯‡ Medal Update πŸ₯‡

Lots of messages regarding the medals.

Yes they have been ordered but as we expected they are going to take a while to arrive as we had ordered them 5 months before the actual Lough 5 and they only arrived about 10 days before the actual event.

Once they do arrive we will post it up on the page and arrange an evening for you to come collect your medal and have a handover photo 😎

We appreciate your patience regarding the medals. We were totally overwhelmed by the unprecedented numbers on NYE and could not have forseen the number of participants and delighted to be in a position to have to order in more medals.

We do this all for our 2 charities, Termonmaguirc Friendly Care Group and Termonmaguirc Cancer Patients Comfort Fund. We are all volunteers who are dedicated to both causes so please bear with us as we do our best to ensure you all get your medals once they arrive 😎

Have a lovely weekend and keep on running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Thank you

Now that the dust has settled around the Lough 🏞️, we’d like to send a huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who turned out once again for the Lough 5 πŸ™
Your continued support β€” whether you were running πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ, cheering on family and friends πŸ“£, or supporting the kids’ race πŸ§’ β€” truly means more to us than words can say πŸ’«

By taking part, you also helped support the two charities at the very heart of this event πŸ’™
Termonmaguirc Friendly Care Group and Termonmaguirc Cancer Patients Comfort Fund β€” both run by dedicated volunteers 🀝, with every penny raised going directly towards supporting local families who need it most ❀️

Both charities had volunteers on hand on race day, with the two Marys at the helm πŸ‘, providing refreshments β˜• and the much-enjoyed post-race food πŸ₯ͺ🍰
A special thank you to Mullaghmore Bakery, Omagh πŸ₯–βœ¨ for supplying the majority of the bread and sweet treats β€” your continued support is truly appreciated πŸ™Œ

We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of our sponsors whose generosity and continued support make this event possible year after year πŸ™

A very special thank you to our main sponsor, Daly’s Hardware Carrickmore πŸ…πŸ’™
Your generous support in providing four years’ worth of medals has allowed us to introduce a unique stacking medal as we build towards our 20th anniversary in 2028 β€” something truly special for our runners and a legacy we’re so proud of πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈβœ¨
