On May 27, participants will run or walk the Blackhall Place-Phoenix Park 5K or 10K routes with friends and family. An excellent excuse to fundraise together while celebrating 25 years of the Run.
This year is the 25th Calcutta Run so we will be out in force, hoping to raise €400,000 for The Hope Foundation and Peter McVerry Trust. Our goal is that firms and individuals will sign up and fundraise to support our two great charity partners and make this the most successful Calcutta Run ever. So please spread the word among friends, family and colleagues.
We’re delighted to announce that the second Calcutta Run Tag Rugby Fundraiser will take place on May 6.
This event is open to all legal practitioners, across the country, with no tag experience (or ability) required. On the day, there will be food, drinks and music with some nice and competitive tag rugby on the side! The day promises to be great craic and a fantastic opportunity to catch up with friends (and/or rivals) in the profession.
For the second time, the Law Society is hosting a golf tournament on May 19 as part of the Calcutta Run fundraising effort.

This year, we will celebrate 25 years of the Run at The Finish Line Festival. Our two charities Peter McVerry Trust and The Hope Foundation will be there to outline how the participants’ generosity enabled various projects to continue.
The Finish Line Festival at Blackhall Place which hosts the famous BBQ, bar, music, ice cream and kids’ events will be bigger than ever to celebrate our 25th run!

Peter McVerry Trust provides a wide range of services including homeless and housing services, drug treatment and detox services, as well as under-18 residential services to the homeless in Dublin.
