Following the popularity and success of the last two 10k runs, Donadea running
club are proud to announce the 3rd Donadea Forest 10K run to be held in the Coillte Donadea Forest
Park. The event will take place on Saturday 16th October at
11.00am. The run will start from St Kevin’s GAA Club in Staplestown and
will continue into the scenic and tranquil forest park and finish by the castle
inside the forest. The course has been measured accurately to the
distance of 10 Kilometers. A route map will be available for download from this
website closer to the time.
The event has been organized to support the local community and to bring
runners from Kildare and all over Ireland together. It is also an
opportunity to take part in an event for all to enjoy and give something
back. The proceeds from the run will go the Teen Challenge organisation that has
branches in both Wicklow and Kildare and also to support all the good work
taking place in the local community.
The founder of Donadea Running Club Jo Cawley says “This is the 3rd running
event to take place in the local area and the committee is working hard to
ensure everyone has a positive and memorable experience. We are hoping to
repeat the success of last year with 600 runners taking part. It is a
great way to support a local charity keep fit, have fun and meet other like
minded people”

Donadea Forest Park but will also receive a unique 10K medal and a goodie bag
