Colour Run Raises €70,000 For Charity

The Tipperary Cancer Colour Fun Run, which took place in August at Tipperary Racecourse, raised more than €70,000 for the Irish Cancer Society and Circle of Friends Cancer Support Centre, Horse Racing Ireland revealed on Wednesday. Over 500 runners took part, including former professional rugby player Alan Quinlan, and trainers and jockeys including Fozzy Stack, Kate Harrington, Billy Lee, Emmet McNamara, Gary Carroll and Shane Foley.

Andrew Hogan, Tipperary Racecourse Manager, said, “We at Tipperary Racecourse were very proud to host this event and would like to thank everyone who took part in the colour run and raised the much-needed funds for these very worthy causes. Great credit is due to Con and Theresa Marnane and the team at Bansha House Stables, who worked tirelessly with the Circle of Friends Cancer Support Centre Committee and our team at the racecourse. Without them, this event would not have been possible and their hard work and determination is greatly appreciated.”
