The Vhi parkrun Hero award for the month of June has been awarded to Blanaid Adamson, from Mullingar parkrun in county Westmeath.
The monthly award recognises and rewards inspirational, hardworking and dedicated members of the parkrun community who embody the ethos of parkrun or have made an outstanding contribution.
According to her fellow parkrunners, the Mullingar event would be lost without their hero Blanaid.
