Athletes from all over will be in Oughterard this evening for the inaugural Mick Molloy 5K.
Mick was a member of Oughterard AC and represented Ireland at the Olympic Games in Mexico in 1968 finishing 41st in 2:48:13 and displaying the courage and indomitable spirit that made him one of the most memorable figures at those Games – running the final six miles barefoot after his shoes disintegrated in the intense heat.
Cliodhna Ruane spoke to John Mulligan about the event and they first spoke about the man himself.
