The 37th running of the Easter Sunday Road Race took place on April 16th 2006. A large crowd turned out on the day to cheer on the over 300 athletes that took part.
The 4 mile race was won by Stephen Sharp, Belgrave Harriers, UK, in a time of 19.09. He was followed home by Gary Thornton, Galway City Harriers, and David Kelly of Sligo.
