Description of the event:

Wicklow Hospice Half Marathon and 10km is back! A lovely route awaits you starting and finishing at Avondale Forest Park, Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow. This is a looped course for both distances along some country roads and hardcore-surfaced forest trails.

Route Map and further details will be available soon. Route will be largely the same as the 2024 event with a couple of tweaks.

The Value of your Participation:

We'd love you to fundraise for us and when you register for this event an online fundraising page will be automatically set up. You can share this on your social media or with your WhatsApp contacts - it's amazing how easy it is to raise a few euros! All of these funds, go back into the provision of care and support for the patients and families of Wicklow Hospice. Across our shared services, the three hospices (Harold's Cross, Blackrock & Wicklow), there is a shortfall in state funding of €5.5 million annually. By taking part in this event and fundraising you are making a huge difference to the type of service we can provide in Wicklow Hospice and to patients at home in the community. In 2023, our amazing team cared for 207 patients in the in-patient unit at Magheramore, and 390 patients at home in the community.

This includes Occupational Therapy, Physio, Speech and Language Therapy, Holistic Treatments, Medical Social Care, and much more. Fundraising allows to us enhance services and pays for things like specialist equipment, family supports, our gardens for patients, and capital investments.
