Hello,

 

I’m reaching out from Amnesty International Ireland as we recruit runners for the Irish Life Dublin Marathon on Sunday, 25 October 2026.

 

We have a limited number of charity places available and would be grateful if you could share the opportunity with members of your running club.

 

Team Amnesty runners will receive:

• A guaranteed Dublin Marathon place
• Fundraising advice, resources and support
• A Team Amnesty running T-shirt
• A Team Amnesty water bottle

 

Charity-place runners commit to a fundraising target, and our team will work closely with them to help them reach it. Runners who already have their own marathon place are also very welcome to join Team Amnesty.

 

There is no administration required from the club. We are simply asking you to share the opportunity with any members who may be interested.

 

To make that easier, you can copy and paste the message below into your club newsletter, WhatsApp group or social channels:

WEEKEND RUNAROUND

GOLD in the National 400m Hurdles for Elle - Kate MCRAE

An incredible run by Elle Kate in the National 400m Hurdles saw her throw herself over the line to take the GOLD medal in her first Senior Championships. Do go and find it online as it surely was the race of the Championships. Congrats Elle Kate you have done yourself and your club proud once again.

Elle-Kate McRae (Midleton A.C.) claims her first senior national title in the women’s 400m hurdles, lowering her own U20 and U18 records to 58.35  with an incredible finish

McRae improved on her previous record of 58.61 to edge Arlene Crossan, with just 0.04 seconds between them!

Another great local race next Thursday evening
