"The whole experience was amazing and to run for such a great cause made it even better!"
Read what previous runners have to say about the experience:
“Truly the crowd of well-wishers who stood in the cold and the rain were superb. I loved the singers, the bands, the drummers, you all helped it along. Placards made me laugh, my favourite was ‘Where’s everybody going?’ and ‘PAIN is just French for bread’.
The number of charities – over 1,700 – for which people were running to raise money was astonishing and very moving. I saw real dedication and heroism along the way. I reflected on this mass of humanity and thought: what wonderful people we have in our midst.” – Eileen
“I have so many feelings, I am so proud and happy that I am done! … thank you to the JRS team for being a wonderful support system and giving myself and others the opportunity to run for such an amazing cause!” – Natalia
“I’m excited about seeing my friends and family and other supporters from JRS along the course and also the atmosphere of everyone coming together for the race.” – Rhiannon
“Fundraising for JRS was something which meant a great deal to me … Thank you so much for your organisation, support on the day … You are a lovely team and welcoming team with a mission I respect so much. “ – Colm
“The atmosphere was electric. The crowds carried me. If someone is interested in doing it, I’d say it is a commitment and a sacrifice. You sacrifice a Saturday or Sunday for your long runs, but it is worth it! Maybe speak to me in four days, but right now it is worth it!” – Andrea
