This festive season, we invite you to be part of something truly special: The GOAL Mile. For over 45 years, this simple yet powerful event has united communities across Ireland to walk or run a mile in solidarity with vulnerable people worldwide.
Why It Matters
GOAL has been responding to humanitarian crises in more than 60 countries since 1977. In 2024 alone, GOAL reached 12.5 million people across 14 countries, delivering lifesaving food, water, medicine, and shelter to families in the most challenging contexts – from conflict zones to disaster-hit regions.
By hosting or joining a GOAL Mile, you’re helping GOAL continue this vital work.
What Clubs Are Saying
“The GOAL Mile brought our community together – runners of all levels, families, and local residents – creating connections, showcasing our club, and inspiring new members, all while supporting GOAL’s vital work.”
— Rebecca Tighe, DSD Athletics Club
