Jacinta O'Brien 5km Colour Run

The 2nd year sport and exercise students will hold a 5k colour run in memory of Jacinta O' Brien, a former member of staff here at UL who was an inspiration to all around her and an advocate of healthy and active living. We aim to continue her beliefs by encouraging the public to increase their activity levels.
