This is the seventh year of our Run For a Life which was initiated by Astellas Pharma who have continued on as the sponsors for the event. We are delighted that it has developed a loyal following over the years and it has become a strong platform for the promotion of organ donor awareness and raising funds for the Irish Kidney Association as well as a great day out for all the family.
After the success of last year’s event, we will be in Corkagh Park in Clondalkin, Dublin 22 again and we will be using the same 2.5km route. The parkland nature of the measured 2.5km circuit will make it very picturesque and should make for a good experience for runners, joggers and walkers alike.
As a result of ongoing feedback, we will again be offering a choice of 2.5km, 5km or 10km events. A combination of an accurately measured course and chip timing will mean that it will be a good event for regular runners to record a time over the popular distances of 5km and 10km. Having the 2.5km options makes the day accessible to all ages and abilities thus making it very family friendly.
As in past years, our renowned soup and sandwiches will of course be available to all finishers!
