Cooley Coast Run
The second annual Cooley Coast Run has been confirmed for Friday 18th May. This is a 12.5k Road Race & a 10k run/walk along Cooley’s famous coast line, taking in the wonderful scenery of Carlingford Lough and the Mourne and Cooley mountains. Both the 12.5k and the 10k will start and finish at the grounds of Cooley Kickhams GFC. The two races will start at 7pm sharp. The event was a great success last year with over 400 people taking part, and hopefully we will have even more this year.
Once again the Cooley Coast Run is generously sponsored by Open Hydro Ltd. Open Hydro are playing a pioneering role on the world stage in the development of marine turbines for generating renewable energy. They are based in Greenore port, where they manufacture tidal turbine designs providing local jobs. Cooley Coast Run would like to thank Open Hydro for their continued support.
