Coca Cola Rás na hÉireann International Cross Country
Preparation
for the Coca Cola Rás na hÉireann International Cross Country continues as the
day of the event draws nearer. There are 8 confirmed visitors from the USA
coming to the Coca Cola Rás na hÉireann to help Dunleer Athletic Club celebrate
the 2013 Rás as well as the Gathering in Ireland. No doubt our US visitors will
discover some Irish roots when they visit and it is hoped that Irish athletes
from overseas will also come home to run the Coca Cola Rás na hÉireann and
enjoy the Week of Sport & Culture, with the two main sporting events,
International Road Race in Armagh on Thursday 14th February and International
Cross Country on Sunday February 17th, in Oldbridge, with kind permission from
the OPW.
