    Starting this as it's pretty imminent. Frank Greally, editor of Irish Runner and no mean athlete in his day founded the event:

    "Over three and a half thousand people participated in the third annual Remembrance Run 5K in the Phoenix Park in 2014 – a unique event organised by Athletics Ireland where people take part to remember family or friends passed or others who may currently be struggling with illness or other life challenges."

    very few people race this tbh
    last year there were about 20 people under 20 minutes (some of them far under, the Endurance coach got a group to do it) and then a lot of joggers and walkers

    so you'd be on your own most likely

    I decided to do it. I'd imagine its more walkers than runners but will give it a go anyway.

    From what I've heard, from other runners, it isn't one to race. All very emotional and upsetting seems to be the theme.

    If you want a Nov race there is one in St Anne's on Sunday 15th?

    The Carers Association are organising a 5k event the Dublin Care to Run. It will take place in St. Anne's Park, Raheny, on Sunday 15th November starting at 11:00 a.m. All proceeds will go towards maintaining vital services to Family Carers across Dublin City and County. It is licensed by the Athletics Association of Ireland and the course is measured and certified. There will be 1st, 2nd,and 3rd prizes for the Men's and the Ladies categories. All entrants will receive a tech t-shirt and a goody bag. Online registration is now open on
    http://www.runireland.com/events/dublin-care-run-5k (Fee €20)
    late registration on the day ( Fee €25).
