A grand total of €5,708.18 was raised across the weekend , which also included a bucket collection in Castleisland on the day prior to the run.

After taking the opportunity to have a good look around all the cars and bikes, the convoy of vehicles left for a nice local scenic drive, taking some of the lesser travelled roads in the direction of Castleisland, before continuing to the halfway point in Brosna village.

After a brief stop to stretch the legs, the convoy continued to the finish in Knocknagoshel. The local Knocknagoshel Meals on Wheels team put on a great spread for everyone to end a very enjoyable day out.

The club thanked all who attended and supported the event on the day. Their next event will be a Tractor Run on Sunday, September 22 with cars and motorbikes welcome on the day also. Keep an eye on their social media for more information. Scroll down for photos…
