Whitehead marked the centenary of the town’s annual Easter Monday Road Race in style in 2024.

Whitehead Community Association worked hard on a number of initiatives to make Ireland’s longest-standing road race extra special.

And with this year’s event coming up on Monday, April 21, here are 24 photos from the 2010 and 2011 events to whet the appetite.
