Pre-registration for the race is now open, and people can register up until 7.15pm on the race night. Entry must be via the official race entry form, available from Maghera Leisure Centre or from the Council’s website at www.midulstercouncil.org/Maghera10K

Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Linda Dillon is very enthusiastic about the event and hopes a lot of people sign up to take part. “This is the second year I’ve been privileged enough to have been part of the Maghera 10K event and I always find it an extremely enjoyable and fun occasion.

“I just hope everyone gets behind it and as many people as possible register now to take part- there’s still time left to get some last minute training squeezed in!”

The entry fee is £10 or £18 for relay teams and the first 200 entries will receive free Technical T-shirts so register now.
