Marathon Kids – 5th and 6th Class

What an exciting day! Today we had the privilege of hosting the Olympic athlete David Gillick, former European indoor 400m champion, in our school to complete our daily lap running as part of the Marathon Kids programme. 
We got our t-shirts for taking part in the programme and did our warm up with David. Then we ran our laps with him – all filmed by RTE as part of their News2Day show!
Tune in at 4.20pm today on RTE 2 to see us running our marathon!
