Join me on the route.

If you would like to join me on some or all of the run, we will be leaving from Marlay park on the 9th of August at 10am and there will be 5 checkpoints/aid stations along the route where you can join in or drop off.

The more people who join in, even for the final 3km, the more potential donations we can generate, so please come along if you can! We’ll be at the Glendalough Hotel afterwards, so please join us for a drink!
