    I'm helping to organise a pop up event for Run in the Dark in Kilkenny on Wednesday, 13th November at 7.30pm. It's a great cause and runs are mighty craic so I've been led to believe. :D

    A bit of blurb about it.

    Run in the Dark is staged at 7.30pm local time over 24 hours in mid-November. There are official events in Dublin, Cork, Belfast, London and Manchester with local city champions organising pop up events in cities including Sydney, New York, Washington DC, Frankfurt, Edinburgh and Boston (AND KILKENNY!)

    Blind adventure athlete http://www.markpollocktrust.org/ is trying to find a cure for spinal cord injury using robotic exoskeletons combined with medical research. Your Run in the Dark entry fee will go towards fueling this ambition. You can fundraise for a charity close to your heart, or just run for fun!

    As the blurb says, you can run for fun, fundraise for a charity of your choice or for the Mark Pollack Trust.

    If you are interested in registering go to the main Run in the Dark page, click on the sign up tab, select Pop Up and enter Kilkenny as your location.

    If you're not interested please pass the info along to anyone that you know that may be interested.

    Thanks. :)

    Any idea of the route OP?

    Cabaal, f you look on the FAQs page of Run in the Dark you'll find a lot of the general information but it's more geared towards the 5 large organised runs. Rega is right, the entry fee is €27.00. Late entry fee from 31st October is €31. I believe they'd prefer people to register for it before the 31st so as to be able to gauge numbers and get the tee shirts and glow armbands out to the various runs in plenty of time.

    Rega, it'll be a 5km route beginning and ending at the Parade by the Castle most likely. The route should be decided by the end of this coming week.
