The Ras na hEireann U.S.A. 5km will be held this Sunday at 11 am. The starting line is in front of the Burren and the finish line is on the bike path near Brooks Pharmacy. There will be about 2,500 runners competing. The course passes through Teele Square and Ball Square as well. There are post-race parties at the Burren, the Sligo, Redbones, the Joshua Tree, Orleans, P.J. Ryan’s, and the Powderhouse Pub, but because of the crowds, I think that entrance to the pubs will be restricted to runners and accompanying friends/family members until 1 pm.
