Ballyfin GAA are holding their annual 6k run/walk all through the breathtaking grounds of Ballyfin Demesne on Sunday, February 26 at 11.30am.
The 6K route will start in the exclusive grounds of Ballyfin House just off the main avenue.
From here, it heads through the farm buildings and up to the Tower taking in just some of the 614 acres of Parklands.
Following this avenue participants will soon catch sight of the majestic Main House, long admired as the most lavish Regency mansion in Ireland, which has recently been restored to its former glory.
The route takes participants along the front of the house itself, and makes its way out the avenue where they will turn down by the ‘caves’ before meandering onto the walkway surrounding the lake.
They will then make their way all around the lake taking in some of the most spectacular of views, climbing back up to the main avenue and heading towards the ‘Main Entrance’ Gate with the finish on the avenue within the grounds.
A spokesperson said: “Whether you walk or run we look forward to welcoming you to our 6K.
“And we hope its a very enjoyable return to Ballyfin for many of you who attended Patrician Brothers Ballyfin and to others who wish to see inside this exclusive estate.”
It costs €10 for adults, €5 for juveniles under 15 and €20 for families.
The event is baby buggy and stroller friendly and assistance dogs are allowed on the run.
There are amazing prizes to be won on the day and they are divided into male and female categories.
The prize for the first man and woman is €100, the second is €40 and third prize is €20.
The first prize for both a boy and a girl in the juvenile category is €30.
