The Western Veteran and Vintage Motor Club (WVVMC ) are holding their annual Westrun event over the weekend of the July 25 to 27.
There will be approximately 120 cars taking part in a run to Clifden on the Saturday, with visitors from all over Ireland and abroad expected to come along.
Vintage cars from the early 1900’s to classic cars of the 1980’s are to be expected with stops in Moycullen and Oughterard before finishing in Clifden in the afternoon. Participants will depart from 5pm onwards and the day finishes with a gala dinner and prizegiving in the Clybaun Hotel in Knocknacarra.
The cars will be on display at the Spanish Arch from 2pm until 6pm on the Friday afternoon and the area is open to the general public to view. This display will be attended by the Mayor of Galway who will be asked to officially open the Westrun weekend.
The cars are also available to view at the Clybaun Hotel on the Saturday morning, but you will have to be early as the run leaves at 10.30am.
The WVVMC was formed in 1977 after the conclusion of the Irish Vintage Autumn Rally which was held in Galway. It is now one of the largest motoring clubs in the country with around 150 members. The Westrun (including its previous guises of Summer Run and Shell Run ) have been held nearly every year since.
