Calcutta Run is returning to Blackhall Place on May 28! Members of the legal profession, their families and friends will fundraise together to help alleviate homelessness. On top of helping a great cause, it will be an opportunity to celebrate being reunited with colleagues and friends.
Virtual participation will also be available for those who want to join anywhere and at their own pace from 21-28 May helping two great charities. So please spread the word among friends, family and colleagues.
On May 28, participants will finally be able to run or walk the Blackhall Place-Phoenix Park 5K or 10K routes with friends after two virtual years. An excellent excuse to fundraise together while also improving wellbeing and health.
This year, our target is to raise €300,000 for The Hope Foundation and Peter McVerry Trust, reaching the milestone fundraising target of 5 million euros over 24 years. After signing up for the run, your fundraising page is automatically set up on idonate.ie. All proceeds raised go directly to the two charities.
This year, team awards will be awarded to firms in recognition of all their hard work.
Registration: 9:15 – 10:15 am
Start-time: 11:00am
