Notice : Run in the Dark Kilkenny - Wed 14th Nov 2018

This years Run in the Dark event is being held in multiple locations around the country including one in Kilkenny.



From the organisers...Run in the Dark Kilkenny – Join us for a 5k or 10k run on 14th November
 
Run in the Dark Kilkenny takes place on 14th  November 2018 at 8.00pm. Every November, as darkness sweeps the globe, thousands of people in 50 cities across the world will pull on their running shoes and red flashing armbands and hit the streets to Run in the Dark.
 
We know there are lots of running events out there, so why choose Run in the Dark?!

Apart from being a unique night run taking place in iconic locations around the world, there’s also an important cause fuelling this fundraising run. Run in the Dark is a global running movement helping to cure paralysis in our lifetime.

Run in the Dark is organised by the Mark Pollock Trust, named after blind Irish adventure athlete Mark Pollock. Unbroken by blindness in 1998, Mark Pollock suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury in 2010 when he fell from a second story window that left him paralysed. As Mark strives to walk again, his most complex journey is ahead of him – to find a cure for paralysis.

By taking part in Run in the Dark you are enabling ground-breaking collaborations and research which could change the lives of millions of paralysed people around the world.

Every donation, every step, every study, moves us towards a cure for paralysis and enabling people to walk again.

Sign up at https://www.runinthedark.org/kilkenny/


There are a limited number of places available so make sure to sign up early so you don't miss out!


THE ROUTE:
The 5km route starts from the Castle gate, down the canal walk back, into loop a section of the Medieval mile to the last mile down Kieran street. The finish line takes you back to the Castle Gate. Those wishing to complete 10km may loop around once more. The route will have signs and ushers to guide you along the scenic route.
 




Whether you are completing the 5km run or 10km run, please aim to arrive at 19.30 (7.30pm) so that we can ensure everyone will receive their flashing armband and buff and have a group photo before we go running!
