Thomastown Camogie Club hosted its fundraising fun run last weekend, drawing a great crowd.
The event saw a 5K, 10K,15K and 1K kids dash on Sunday, March 9. The event - held in honour of Jenny Grace, a much-loved former member of the club - was previously to take place in February but was postponed due to inclement weather.
