Raheny Shamrock Athletic Club host a GOAL Mile on Christmas morning in St Anne’s Park at 11am.
Raheny Shamrock first held a Christmas day road race on December 25th 1958 and have held a Christmas day race every year since, until of course 2020 when Covid-19 restrictions prevented this.
We are delighted to be able to return to our Christmas race schedule and delighted to partner with GOAL Mile again for the 20th year.
Race entry is open to everyone and while free we do ask you to make a contribution to Goal. You can donate to Goal here.
