Experience the thrill of running after dark in a way you never have before. Run the Night is a five-mile (8km) night-time run lighting up streets in Cork, Dublin. It’s more than a race — it’s a movement built on community, fun, and giving back.


At Run the Night our mission is simple: To bring communities together through the joy of running and the power of giving.
We believe in the power of community and the joy of running — especially when it's done for something bigger than ourselves. That’s why we created a unique, five-mile (8km) night run experience that brings people of all ages and abilities together to light up cities and support powerful local causes.

Every stride you take supports someone else’s journey, whether it’s a child in need of a hero, a family looking for hope, or a community rallying behind one of their own.
We’re proud to partner with charities in the host cities, and we’re committed to growing our impact city by city, night by night.
