5K for Collection Day
This Collection Day we are raising funds for our Sport, Health and Leadership programmes that support our athletes every day.
This year one of the ways you can support us is by taking part in our 5K/5 mile challenge.
Like our athletes, we want to encourage all our supporters to get out and get active this April!
What is the 5K/5 mile Challenge?
We want you to complete 5 kilometres or miles on Friday 21st of April - you can walk, run, swim or cycle. We will be supplying #UnbeatableTogether t-shirts that celebrate the theme of the Special Olympics World Games this June for your challenge. While 5 kilometres or miles is a huge challenge for some, a fitness commitment for others, the important thing is you are raising funds for Special Olympics Ireland and our athletes who are doing their best to get fitter and healthier every day
