Taking place at the picturesque Jack's Old Cottage in Islandeady, the event promises a day of fitness, fun, and community spirit.

Whether you prefer a leisurely stroll, a steady jog, or a competitive run, the course allows participants to move at their own pace. 

Additionally, the event is officially measured and licensed by Athletics Ireland, complete with chip timing for accurate results.

The Islandeady Fun Run will commence at 10 am sharp, starting and finishing at Jack's Old Cottage.

The route spans 5 kilometers, taking participants on a scenic journey in a clockwise direction, culminating back to the cottage. 

Those opting for the 10 kilometer challenge will complete the route twice. 

Ample parking facilities will be available near Jack's Cottage, ensuring convenience for all attendees.

For those preferring in-person registration, the fee will be €20 per adult on Friday, August 2, or Saturday, August 3. 

Entrants under the age of 16 can participate for free, making it an excellent opportunity for families to come together for a day of healthy activity.

Race numbers can be collected from Jack's Cottage on Friday evening between 6 and 7pm or on the morning of the race. 

Gather your friends, family, and colleagues, dust off those running shoes, and join together for a day of fun, fitness, and giving back to the community.
