13 THE 41st AN COSANTÓIR 10KM ROAD RACE race day, with some excellent assistance from the OPW and members of the Gardaí. It was a very successful and safe day for all who took part. As a serving member myself, I believe all serving members and retirees should continue to support our great DF event for many years to come and continue to keep that personal link to the organisation and to all of our former comrades. Over 1500 runners and walkers registered to take part this year, with many taking part and running in different locations at home, and with over 200 taking part in overseas locations. On the race day, over 450 runners and walkers crossed the start line.
