ONE MONTH. ONE MISSION.

Ireland’s nationwide running challenge for mental health

Throughout November 2026, Claremorris Macra is challenging young people across Ireland to come together to collectively run 10,000 KM and raise €10,000 for Mayo Mental Health Association.

Started by a small group in Claremorris Macra, Mayo, the initiative is bringing people together through running, conversation and community, encouraging everyone to get active, check in with one another and support young people's mental health.

Join us for a 5K fun run in Mayo

As part of the challenge, Claremorris Macra is hosting a 5K fun run in Barnacarroll, Co. Mayo, on Saturday, November 21st, kicking off at 12 noon.

Everyone is welcome to take part, with registration costing just €10. Whether you’re a regular runner or simply looking to get involved and support a great cause, this is an opportunity to get moving and make a difference.
