💛🖤 A LOOK BACK AT THE BOYLE AC 5K 💛🖤

It might be a few weeks since our Boyle AC 5K on 17th July, but what a night it was! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️📸

We thought it was the perfect time to look back and share some of the brilliant photos captured on the night — smiling faces, determined finishes, plenty of support and a fantastic atmosphere throughout Boyle. 💛🖤

From the runners who took on the 5K, to the marshals, volunteers and supporters who lined the route and cheered everyone home, each of you helped make the evening one to remember.

There’s something very special about seeing the running community come together, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who supported our race and helped make it such a success.👀📸

Great people, great memories and one brilliant night in Boyle. 💛🖤
