Dundalk IT to host 2023 Dundalk 10K race
Wednesday 19 of April at 7pm at DkIT Sport
Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) says it is excited to host the annual Dundalk 10K race. This event will take place on Wednesday the 19th of April at 7pm at DkIT Sport.
Although labelled as the “Dundalk 10K”, there is once again an option to take part in the 5K version. People who wish to participate in either the 10k or 5k event, also have the choice of either running, walking or jogging the distance.
The course for the event is known for being one of the flattest surfaces in Ireland with a course record of 29:45 held by Yared Deresse of Carrick Aces. The event will start outside DKIT Sport and end at the exact same spot. On the route, entrants will be able to enjoy the sites on DKIT Campus as well as the Blackrock Road.
DkIT says that it is "so proud" that "once again", Dundalk 10K is to have many businesses sponsor this event. This year the occasion is sponsored by Servisource Recruitment, Recruit Island, Fyffes, Dundalk Retail Park, Dundalk Credit Union, Intact Software, ControlSoft, Halpin Sports Sponsorship, RockSalt Café and Dundalk Institute of Technology.
All these businesses are local to Dundalk so what better way to have an event in the town that is sponsored by the town. After the race there will be refreshments provided in the Sports Arena at DKIT Sport.
This event is raising funds for charities and a large proportion of all money raised will be donated to a chosen charity. This year the Institute says it is very proud to support its DkIT colleague Sonia Hoey who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer.
