Ireland West Airport is delighted to announce, in partnership with Portwest that their hugely popular annual 5k runway fun run will take place on the runway at Ireland West Airport on Saturday, 9th September at 7pm.
Runners and walkers will take-off down the runway at 7pm and complete a 5km course with a difference. All are welcome to attend what promises to be a fantastic evening for all of the family, raising much needed funds for the airport’s charity partners of 2023.
The airport charity partners for 2023 are Breakthrough Cancer Research, Diabetes Ireland, The Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, The Children’s Cancer Fund, The Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and the Mayo Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Entry to the event costs €20 per adult and €5 for under-16’s. A special family rate of €40 will be available for families of 2 adults and 2 kids. All participants will receive a race t-shirt and complimentary car parking and refreshments at the airport will be provided on the day. Participants can sign up and find more information by visiting www.irelandwestairport.com/runwayrun. To mark the special event, all participants who register online to take part will be entered into a draw to win two return flights to London Heathrow with Aer Lingus. A ‘Virtual option’ will also be available again this year for those who wish to support the charities but are unable to make it on the day and would like to do a virtual run or walk.
