Thousands brave windy Bundoran for Cara challenge
It was the Cara Run 2019 and the biggest one yet! 742 competed in the 5k on Friday and over 2200 between the 10k and 10 mile on Saturday. Sadly the TT cycle fell foul of the windy conditions on Sunday resulting in its cancellation.
Check out our collection of tweets, videos and photos from the weekend below! See you in 2020!

We were live from the start line of the 10 mile and 10 k on Saturday and also as the winner, John Travers, rounded the corner at Aughrus Point for the last 500 metres home!
