Register now for the Aware Christmas Run The Aware Christmas Run is back next month for its 11th year. Leinster Rugby captain Isa Nacewa and team mates have officially launched the event, which takes place in the Phoenix Park on Saturday December 10th.
Aware is one of Leinster Rugby’s two charity partners this season and the Christmas Run is a flagship fundraising event for Aware, raising about €60,000 for the organisation’s nationwide depression support, education and information services.
Online registration is available now on aware.ie for both 5k and 10k options, and participants are encouraged to further support Aware’s work by raising sponsorship for their efforts.
Speaking at the launch in Leinster Rugby HQ, Isa Nacewa said: “We are really proud to be associated with the Aware Christmas Run this year, not only because Aware is one of Leinster Rugby’s charity partners, but because the event highlights the really important link between physical and mental health.
“We all need to invest in our mental health and elements like focus, resilience and recovery are all essential to the professional rugby game and essential for life as well. We hope lots of rugby supporters will sign up to support the Aware Run this year.”
Aware is hoping for over 3,000 participants in this year’s Christmas Run which is sponsored by Mondelez International, owner of iconic brands such as Cadbury, Oreo, Philadelphia and Maynards Bassetts.
Registration for the Aware Christmas Run is €25 per person and chip timing applies.
The event is proudly sponsored by Mondelez International and supported by 98FM and the Irish Independent.
