Notice: Liberty Virtual Race in aid of the Irish Wheelchair Association - 2nd to 5th Dec 2021

This virtual race is coming up at the start of December 2021. The money raised through the Liberty Race in Ireland will go to Irish Wheelchair Association.

Info... https://en.carreraliberty.es/

Info from organisers: The Liberty Race is a virtual race of all ages and abilities to support and promote an inclusive society for people with functional disabilities.

The theme of this year’s race is ‘allyship’; by running, walking or rolling in the race, individuals of all abilities can show their allyship with people with physical disabilities, and in doing so, help raise funds for Irish Wheelchair Association.

Participants are encouraged to donate to the Irish Wheelchair Association. In parallel, to demonstrate Liberty’s value of putting people first, Liberty Insurance will also make a €1 donation to the IWA for every participant that completes the race, to a maximum of €5000.

This is the first year of the Liberty Race in Ireland. The race is in its 14th year in Spain, with thousands of people participating annually.

Participants can register for one or all of the 3 distance categories: 1km, 5km and 10km, and compete from anywhere they want.

Notice: Togher Virtual 5k for charity - 27th Dec 2020 to 3rd Jan 2021

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Togher 5k is not going ahead this Christmas. However, there is the option of doing a virtual 5k on your own and donating €5 to Cork Mental Health Foundation.

You can donate €5 here... https://www.corkmentalhealth.com/Event/virtual-togher-5k

You can run the 5k on your own anytime from Sunday 27th December 2020 to Sunday 3rd January 2021.

From Cork Mental Health Foundation..."While both Togher AC and Cork Mental Health are very disappointed that we have had to cancel our annual Togher 5k sponsored by Ryan's Super Valu due to the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic we still feel it is very important to keep the event going in some way. Therefore we will be having a virtual 5k event on the week of Sunday the 27th of December to Sunday the 3rd of January.

Like many other charities this year Cork Mental Health's fundraising efforts have been severely impacted by the pandemic and  therefore all the money raised through this event will go to support the work that Cork Mental Health do within our community.

We are therefore asking you to take part in the Ryan's Super Valu Virtual Togher 5k by registering online for a fee of just €5 and to do a 5k Run/Walk in your local area.  

This way you will not only be keeping fit and healthy over the Christmas period but also helping a very good cause as well."
