Martin celebrates with his family at Mountlucas

There was a special Easter parkrun at Mountlucas parkrun at the weekend. Easter eggs, generously provided by Bord na Móna, were given to all those who participated in, or volunteered at, the event.

There was also a celebratory atmosphere for another reason as Martin Lawlor completed his 200th parkrun.

Notably, Martin has completed all 200 of his parkruns at Mountlucas parkrun, where he attends almost every week with his family.

Speaking to Martin after the event, he said: "I am very proud of my achievement today, from a person who originally started walking, to being able to run a full 5km without stopping, I absolutely delighted to have reached my 200th parkrun milestone. I couldn't have achieved it without the support of all my family and my parkrun friends."

Mountlucas parkrun takes place at Bord na Móna Mountlucas windfarm every Saturday morning at 9.30am sharp.
