Last Thursday night, a group of 26 women gathered at Knocknarea in Sligo for a HER Outdoors trail run that will be remembered by all for its mix of physical challenge and shared joy. For many of these participants, this was their first experience with the Irish Mountain Running Association (IMRA), with only five of them having previously participated in an IMRA event. The run was led by eight enthusiastic female volunteers from IMRA West, who ensured that everyone had a safe and enjoyable experience. Run Republic spoke to Theresa Kilgannon from the Sligo Sports and Recreation Partnership about how the event unfolded.
