Welcome to the Global Craic 10K
Pull on your gutties and join people from around the world for this cracking celebration of St Patrick’s Day.
We’re inviting the Irish diaspora and friends of Ireland everywhere to mark Lá na Féile Pádraig by running or walking their own Global Craic 10K between Saturday 14 March and Sunday 22 March.
Wherever you are, you choose your route, your pace, and your moment. Once you’ve completed the distance, you can submit simple proof or self-certify your participation and receive your official Global Craic 10K participation certificate.
So whether you’re in Canberra or Caracas, Toronto or Trondheim, Singapore or Santiago, take part in a shared global Irish moment and join the Global Craic 10K this St Patrick’s Day.
(Of course, if you find yourself at home on St Patrick’s Day, come join thousands of running revellers in Belfast on 17 March for the annual SPAR Craic 10K.)
