THE RUN IN The Dark 5k and 10k races in aid of spinal cord injuries took place in in a number of Irish cities this evening.
The Life Style Sports sponsored events took place simultaneously in Dublin, Cork, Belfast, London and Manchester with some unofficial other towns like Wexford.
Events in cities including Sydney, New York, Washington DC and Frankfurt have all happened or are due to happen at 7.30pm local time.
The races are the brainchild of blind adventure athlete Mark Pollock whose trust is trying to find a cure for spinal cord injuries.
The Dublin runners had a chilly night for their run and there was a touch of rain.

Fair fooks to all involved. Ashamed to say I’d not known it was on.
When is the next one?
What a great city
Was there only one photographer in dublin, couldn’t have got a pic outside Dublin no? Typical!! Not to put dampener on it as was great cause fair play to those who ran, just a gentle reminder to media life exists outside of DUBLIN!!!!
G’wan the chip on the shoulder. . . .
Feckin dubs ha!!
Does it really?
Ah sure we’re all friends. . . I’m sure there will be photos of the cork run somewhere tomorrow.all the journalists on the score.ie are too busy trying to come up with more Roy keane articles for us then to worry about the night run anywhere else!!
Well done to everyone involved in this including my amazing brother in law Gary Seery all the running for such good causes :)
Ran the race last night, had a great time :) thanks to all the organisers & volunteers for their free time & support. Well Done to all all over the Country & further a field.
Saw one of these in Vienna a couple weeks ago..really cool idea
Should be ran in the phoniex park.
Except for the lack of street lighting away from Chesterfield Avenue, it’s a nicer run but not practical for a run in the dark.
I ran in Kilkenny with some friends.lovely night for it
The reason i was suggesting it should be ran in the park is for a number of obvious reasons.
Free traffic congestion
Free parking where ever you want.
Free lighting (generatated lighting).
Don’t get me wrong i agree with the purpose of the run for charities and all that and i salute everybody that run’s the race…..just think its more of a suitable place.
have your say
