Emma McCloskey, EUROSPAR Manager, commented, "On behalf of EUROSPAR Dungiven I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to the event, or in the run up to the event in any way, as it was your help and support which made it so successful. We had a great turnout this year and a lot of locals were encouraged to take up running in the months before the run, so that they could participate, which was great!
