Get Involved!

The collective chapters of The Ireland Funds Young Leaders from around the world will host an event together – The Irish Run the World, a global 5k race.

On Saturday, September 24, 2016, the event will span over 20hrs and cover 80km in 16 different cities and 6 different countries.

Starting in Brisbane, Australia, the Young Leaders will run a 5km in their respective cities before passing the ‘virtual baton’ off to the next city.

The Global 5k will conclude when the last Young Leader crosses the finish line in Los Angeles!

You can support by running or by making a gift.

All funds raised will go to benefit The Ireland Funds to assist worthy charities across the island of Ireland and Irish causes around the world.
