GT5K 2020 – This year it's Virtual!

COVID-19 will not keep us standing still… We want to keep our workforces healthy and running around the country, so for the first time in 2020, the GT5K will run across the whole island of Ireland on the 14th, 15th and 16th of August. This year we ask you to #DoItForDementia as the registration fee will be split between Alzheimer's Society of Ireland and supporting up and coming athletes.

This year we invite you to register as a team* or an individual, run your best 5K over the weekend of the 14th–16th of August and register your time and watch the leaderboard. GT5K 2020 invites corporate teams, family teams, sports club teams or the individual runner to take part, compete and do if for dementia. In a year where all charities will struggle we are delighted to support Alzheimer's in Ireland in advocating, empowering and championing the rights of people living with dementia and their communities. The event also supports the development of young athletes with Athletics Ireland’s junior high performance programme, enabling them to reach their full potential.

When you register you will receive a virtual goodie bag (received event week) and an option to buy a GT5K run technical running jersey to add your collection – or start it!

*Teams are to be made up of 4 runners, team categories are Male, Female or Mixed.
