Kick off your 2026 in fine healthy style in the beautiful grounds of Avondale House, Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow. 

 

We at Parnell A.C. are delighted to welcome you back to our fourth race in memory of our dear friend and juvenile coach M.J. Bolton.  

 

M.J. was a man who valued nature. In honour of this, the route takes you on a beautiful, scenic pathway through Avondale Woods. And the bespoke finishers medal is a fantastic timber representation of a Native Irish Finch. 

 

Come join us for a brilliant  race where all funds raised will be split between Rathdrum Cancer Support Centre and St. Coleman’s Hospital Rathdrum. 

 

We can guarantee you a thoroughly enjoyable morning in an idyllic location and the perfect start to your new year!

 

Runners and walkers are equally welcome and parking is free!
