Elevate is the new name for Douglas Credit Union. After merging with Passage West & Monkstown Credit Union back in 2016, they joined with Glanmire Credit Union in February of 2024.

Additional info... Access by car is via the South Link Road. There is a pedestrian entrance from near the Douglas Shopping Centre and via Half Moon Lane off the South Douglas Road.

The 5k course itself is basically two 2.5km loops...

There is a small hill near the recycling centre but it really doesn't amount to much. The course is a smooth tarmac surface.

Proceeds from this event goes to these charities...

1) National Meals on Wheels Network

2) Irish Kidney Association
