The run, sponsored by Dundalk Credit Union and other local businesses will take place in Dundalk, Co. Louth. 

The Family Addiction Support Network appeals to young and old to join the 5k & family fun run organised by FASN & An Garda Síochána to raise funds for family support services.

Jackie McKenna, the FASN Project Coordinator, said;

“FASN is proud to partner with An Garda Síochána to host our 2nd annual 5k & Family Fun Run. The run will be a great event and a positive way to start 2023. You can run or walk as suits you best, with friends or family members.”

"In an effort to address a shortfall in funding & maintain our services, the FASN 5K is part of our ongoing fundraising campaign and 100% of the monies raised will fund our services into 2023.

"In addition, we hope to raise awareness of our organisation and the assistance we provide to communities across the Northeast", Jackie added.
