This race has been around a few years, (since 2007 I think, but it's years since I ran it). It attracts reasonably good numbers:
- Finishers 2014 - 10k: 1,150. 5k: 600
- Finishers 2013 - 10k: 1,400, 5k: 500
Registration
This is a pretty expensive race, particularly the 5k, as both distances are €25 to enter. However it is for a worthwhile charity cause, so there's no suprise that it still attracts decent numbers. The organisers encourage people to fund raise or donate (although it's not obligatory) and an incredible €80,000 was raised by the event last year.

Route
This is a pretty tough, hilly 10k course. There's an early climb around 2k, but the hardest is probably at 9k, when the legs are a bit more tired. However, it is a very scenic route around the Phoenix park, particularly enjoyable for anybody not worried about a time.
A good work-out either way, and for a good cause.
