UPDATE 06/10: Event goes Virtual

Dear Participant,

Following yesterday evening’s announcement by the Government on a nationwide move to Level 3 Covid restrictions, we have taken the difficult decision to move the Join Our Boys Marathon / Run to a virtual event.

We were getting very excited about the event in Athy on 25th October, and were busy finalising plans for the day.  We are very disappointed, therefore, not to be able to welcome you to Athy for what would have been a super day.

We make the decision to move a virtual event in the interest of public health and in line with Level 3 Covid restrictions.

If you wish to avail of a refund, you have the opportunity to do so by contacting office@popupraces.ie (put JOIN OUR BOYS REFUND in the subject) no later than 10th Oct. Given the great joinourboys.org cause, however, we really hope as many people as possible will join us virtually.  All entries will automatically switch to the virtual event from 10th Oct onwards.

T-shirts/Singlets and medals for all virtual participants will be sent via post to the address you provided at registration.

Thank you once again for supporting our fundraiser.  We hope 2021 will bring

some more normality to our running life and look forward to seeing some pictures and results from your virtual run.

Kindest Regards,

PopUpRaces / Athy Triathlon Club

 

UPDATE 28/9: Event now fully sold out.

Please check the FAQ tab for further information on the event

 

Athy Triathlon Club are delighted to host this years “Join Our Boys” event, raising vital funds for the Join our Boys Trust.

The event will take place on a looped course, so even if a marathon is not on your wish list, you can sign up and run whatever distance you feel comfortable doing, all in support of the Join Our Boys Trust 

 

This Year, we have teamed up with Run for Archie, who will also be hosing a marathon at the end of September. So if you fancy a second marathon, you can get a discounted bundle entry HERE

 

Entry includes a bespoke medal, premium tech tee and race pack postage.
