Jack White's 5K/10K Run

A new event coming on 7th April in Wicklow is the Jack White's 5K / 10K Run. This event is organised by the same race director that has brought numerous similar events, such as the Brittas Bay Run and the Wicklow Santa Dash.

All these events are run in aid of Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin (and when I say in aid of....all the money goes there, not a percentage!).


If you don't know the area, Jack White's Inn is an iconic landmark. And once again the organisers have done a great job with their medal design to reflect this, so I'd be confident that there will be a lot of runners out there that will want this souvenir.

Entry / Registration

There is early bird registration for this (€13 for 5K, €16 for 10K) until the end of February. However, you can get FREE entry if you take a sponsorship card for the Children's hospital.

Free entry deal:  Take a sponsor card and raise €50 for a free single entry. Or raise €80 for a free family entry (2+2).  All card holders get 1 free Crumlin T-shirt along with the medal (all entrants get the medal, not just the cardholder).

To get the sponsorship card, email the race director on: waynedriscoll02@gmail.com

Family Day Out

Beyond the race, this should be a good day out for all the family. Entertainment mega slide bouncy castle, spider man castle, face painting, puppet show, sack race for kids, egg and spoon race for kids, kids dash 500 metres and a DJ pumping out the tunes.
