Michael Sonny Murphy Memorial 5K Returns

After more than 30 years as a fixture in the local sporting calendar, the Sonny Murphy Memorial Road Race is returning to Kilnaboy this week.   The event honours one of Clare's great sporting figures, Sonny Murphy, a native of Ballycasheen, Kilnaboy, who represented Ireland at the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.   Now revived by the Sonny Murphy Committee with the support of Kilnaboy AC, the event will take place as a 5K race and community walk this Thursday evening.   Alan Morrissey was joined by committee members Sean Roche and Francis Whelan to talk about Sonny's legacy and the return of this special community event.
