5km and 10km
Mark Pollock fell from a second story window in 2010. He broke
his back and the damage to his spinal cord left him paralysed.
Cruelly, this was not Markʼs first tragedy. 12 years earlier, he lost
his sight.
As the blind adventure athlete lay in hospital, now paralysed and
broken, his supporters created Run in the Dark to fuel his ambition
to walk again. A spinal cord injured pioneer, he is exploring the
frontiers of recovery. Follow Mark’s exploration of aggressive
physical therapy and robotic technology at markpollocktrust.org.
You can raise funds for The Mark Pollock Trust, or for one of the
Run in the Dark selected charities. These charities support the
blind, those with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities. Or, just
do it for fun!
This year the event will be taking place in six different locations including Dublin, Cork, Belfast, London Manchester and New York.
