About the race

The Fighting Blindness Glendalough Trail Run takes place in Glendalough on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The event raises funds for Fighting Blindness to support investment into research on degenerative eye disease.

There are two route options. Participants can enter a competitive running course of 15 km or take a non-competitive walking or jogging route of 8.5 km. The routes use the Glendalough trails and combine running and walking terrain.

All entrants commit to raise a minimum donation of €100 for Fighting Blindness. The organiser states that fundraising supports the charity’s research work and that assistance is provided to participants in their fundraising efforts.

The entry structure distinguishes competitive and non-competitive participation. The event materials mention information pages such as course details, race information, gallery, results, and FAQ. The event is presented by Fighting Blindness and the Glendalough Trail Run partnership and is associated with the charity’s ongoing investment into research toward a cure for degenerative eye disease.
