THE BRANDON BAY HM/10K
Saturday 08.07.2017: entries are flying in for this year’s event with almost a quarter of last year’s total signed up already. We are really encouraging local businesses and accommodation owners to please share the event on social media and on websites etc to help get as many people to come to the area as possible for the weekend of the festival. Hopefully this year’s event will be the biggest one yet. Remember also, money raised from the event are for the local soccer club and also for various chosen charities each year (last year was Crumlin Children’s Hospital among others) so it is a not-forprofit event. Looking forward to Saturday, July 8, already.
