Come along if you're looking to get back into running, want to join a running group, or just want to get out for some headspace. you may drag your heels to get started, but you're guaranteed to leave feeling like you can rule the world. 👊💪💪 Meet 7 pm on Tuesdays and 7:30 pm on Thursdays at the Rosses Athletic Club track near the airport.

Great running tonight ladies. Plenty of chatting and no one seemed to struggle at all. You’re in great shape for heading into the weekend session, which is the same session as tonight but with a few extra (5) sessions. If you feel you need to slow the pace a little to complete them, then go for it. If anyone wants to gather as a group on Saturday as extra motivation heading into the bank holiday weekend, let me know and we can meet at the track. Well done again 👏🏻👏🏻

Great to see everyone last night for a nice and easy start (or return) to the programme. For anyone new to it, we're aiming to build up your endurance in these first few weeks so that you'll be well conditioned to take on increased durations of running. As I'm sure anyone who's already done one of these programmes will tell you, it's definitely managable if you take it steady.

The next session is on Thursday @7:30 and will be similar to last night's session, but with one extra rep and a slightly shorter recovery time. At this early stage, it's good to establish a routine to stick to the plan, so I hope to see you all there on Thursday.

Well done and congrats on getting the most important run done 🥳

Following on from the success of so many 2022 C25K graduates, a busy fixtures calendar of road and adventures races and hopefully long bright sunny days ahead, we’re looking forward to getting back at it!

Please share if you know anyone interested in our 2023 8-week programme, anyone seeking motivation to lace up their runners again, or anyone who might want to build up to a 10k or beyond.

Goal 5k to be confirmed but this would be ideal for anyone participating in WAAR Beag, WAAR Sprint, or hopefully the annual Donegal Airport 5k (TBC). Looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces alike.

For anyone who couldn’t make tonight, we’re gonna do this on Tuesday with the goal and emphasis being on finishing lines, not finishing times, though with the pace and scuit of some of you, even that won’t be enough of a challenge. Congratulations everyone!!!

‘Mary From Dungloe’ Loop of Dungloe 5k

One of the most popular and fastest 5k’s on the Grand Prix circuit - the Loop of Dungloe 5k - will take place on Tuesday 26th July.

Hosted by Rosses AC this has been traditionally a great family event with a great atmosphere. See you there !!! 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏼‍♂️

Congratulations everyone - nearly there. Tomorrow night we'll be doing 30 - 40 mins of continuous running to hit the milestone you've all worked so hard towards. Very impressive running from everyone last night - I believe all in, you covered about 6K during your session and most, if not all of you, looked like you could have carried on for more!

So as agreed last night, we're meeting at the Furniture shop just up from Amharclann Ghaoth Dobhair at 7:30 pm tomorrow night. Hope you can all make it xx
