Bundoran 10 race details clarified, with very special nod to Eamon Harvey

The final countdown is on to one of the biggest sporting gatherings in the north west, the Bundoran 10.

And this year’s event will mark the sad passing of the late Eamon Harvey in a very special way. Eamon’s contribution to athletics and para-athletics was immense, not only in Donegal but at national level and on the world stage. Ahead of each of the three start times for the Bundoran 10 events, there will be a minute of applause to acknowledge Eamon’s contribution to the sport. 

Organisers have issued clarification on start times for the event which takes place in Bundoran over two days, Friday, March 6 and Saturday, March 7.

A spokesperson said: “We are aware that an email that previously went out had incorrect start times, apologies for that and the confusion. Please see all times and information below.
