The Vodafone C&C Cellular Mayo AC Open Road League continues on Sunday next 11th October with race seven of the nine race series. The 'Terry Fox' 4 miler takes place at Ballina and is a one lap course starting and finishing along the autumnal splendour of Beleek Park.

The 'Terry Fox' takes place annually at venues all over the world in support of the Terry Fox Foundation which raises funds for Cancer Research in memory of a brave young Canadian.

The race will not have a prize fund as all money raised on the day will go towards the Terry Fox Foundation. Local man Michael Rice (not the Athenry AC one!) and his team of helpers have organised this race at Ballina for the past 17 years. Mayo AC are very happy to support the great work done by Michael in his fundraising effort.

Start time 3pm. Entry €20 from 1.30pm at track clubhouse. T-shirt for all finishers.
