Dublin Remembers 1916 5K

POSTED:

Athletics Ireland have announced in partnership with Dublin City Council to host the Dublin Remembers 1916 Run 5k which will take place on Sunday 24th April at 8:00am to mark the 100 year anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising.  

With the centenary celebrations of 1916 in full swing, this is an excellent opportunity to put your running shoes on in remembrance.

Starting at Mountjoy Square, the course takes in some of Dublin City’s most iconic sites while you fill the streets passing the GPO, Liberty Hall, Rosie Hackett Bridge, the Four Courts and finishing at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham exactly 100 years ago to the day of the Easter Rising. All finishers will receive a unique commemorative Dublin Remembers 1916 Run technical t-shirt as well as being part of this unique event.
