A turnout in excess of 200 is expected for the 2005 Rás an Turcaí on Wednesday December 28 in the village of Carraroe; it's a race that has grown in stature since its inception in 2001. The event is organised by the former Galway inter county footballer Mairtin Og MacDonnacha who gave up his career in the sport in the 1980's and now enjoys cycling with the Blazing Saddles.
