Purple Run

Down Syndrome Irelands Purple Run is returning this October. Together, we go further. 

As part of Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we are asking you to complete a marathon across the month of October while raising funds for our Down syndrome community. This is YOUR marathon and you can decide how you want to complete this incredible 42km challenge. 

The Purple Run is a virtual event, which means it can take place anywhere you like. You can run in your local park once a week, take daily walks on a scenic route, or even team up with your friends for a weekly group run, once it’s a total of 42km across October.  

Why not gather a group of family, friends or colleagues together to organise a Purple Run to really make a splash?
