About the race

The 3rd National Solidarity Run is a community event at the Sport Ireland campus that offers a 5 km run, jog or walk to mark solidarity, diversity and inclusion in Ireland. Organised by Sanctuary Runners, the event takes place on the national cross country track and is aligned with the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Partners include Irish Aid, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the European Commission, The Ireland Funds, Sport Ireland and Athletics Ireland. This is not a chip timed event; the focus is on participation, meeting others and enjoying the cross-country venue. A Sanctuary Runners t-shirt is included and is available for collection on the day.

The programme also features music. Practical notes from the organiser: the course is not buggy or wheelchair friendly; registration is for adults only while children are welcome if accompanied by an adult. The event fee covers event expenses and the t-shirt. Parking and further day-of details will be provided to participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
