Rowing Ireland is delighted to work alongside Mark Pollock in promoting Run in the Dark this year. Mark is a member of our rowing family and a firm supporter and advocate of Irish Rowing over the years.
About Run in the Dark:
Run in the Dark is back with a virtual facelift!
As darkness sweeps around the globe in mid-November, 25,000 people worldwide will get up from their armchairs, slip on their red flashing armbands and pull on their running shoes to complete a 5k or 10k walk or run.
Running separately while connecting socially across 7 continents, this global movement will light up the night as people hit the road to Run in the Dark for the Mark Pollock Trust and to donate or fundraise for Collaborative Cures, whose mission is to bring people together to cure paralysis in our lifetime.
With the impact of COVID 19, we can’t run side by side at mass participation events this year, so we’ve built something different for our Run in the Dark community so we can still light up the night together on Wednesday 18 November.
