Almost €600,000 has been raised for projects benefiting the local community since the race day was launched nearly 40 years ago.
This year’s race day will celebrate diversity and inclusion, embracing the different cultures within our community, with a variety of fundraising activities taking place and funds distributed directly to community-based projects in the parish.
A variety of free family entertainment will be hosted throughout the afternoon with free activities in the Moyglare Kids Zone area and performances from local stage schools including Kildare Irish Figure Dancing, KNC Performing Arts, Leinster Academy of Dance, and the Stage Academy.
