Keep on Funning. Running the race at St Colman's. Picture: Columba O'HareWith just over 24 hours left to run for the Guinness World Record Relay Race attempt at St Colman's pitch it's time to get down to cheer them on if you haven't already.

Over the course of the last 17 days the runners have clocked up well over 3000 miles and the festival atmosphere has seen many sing songs and craic to pass the hours away. Yesterday up and coming band The Nooks performed trackside and blew away the appreciative audience with everything from Hillbilly to Hip-Hop and then some.

The marathon attempt would not have been possible without all the hard work and time dedicated by Jacqueline Galway and the team of organisers not to mention all the supporters who turned up day and night.

It all ends tomorrow afternoon Wednesday 8th of August at 12pm, congratulations to all and lets hope it's not long before the Guinness World Record win is acknowledged.
