Organised though Na Magha Hurling and Camogie Club in memory of their beloved former player, Aodhán's O’Donnell, the event has proven to be one of the most popular on the city’s thriving athletics scene with athletes of all abilities and ages joining walkers to make it another special evening. As always, ‘Journal’ photographer George Sweeney was there to capture some of the defining images….
