The annual Lurgan Park Fun Run for Southern Area Hospice will take place on Sunday, March 9, 2025 (11am).
It will feature 5k and 10k distances.
The hugely popular and well-supported event, which was established in 2014, attracts well over 500 participants and has now raised over £72,500 for the Hospice.
A special feature of the run is that all event costs and supplies are covered by sponsors, which means 100% of runner donations goes to the hospice. Each participant will receive a T-Shirt, Bespoke Medal, running number, refreshments and snacks on the day.
David Wilson, Joint Organiser, commented: “We are delighted to be now in our 11th year and to be supporting the Southern Area Hospice again. It has extra meaning as Deirdre Breen who heads up the Lurgan Friends of Hospice Group are closing in on £1 million total fundraising. It would be great to reach that amazing milestone”.
We are also grateful that McKeever Sports are supporting us once again. They have been involved since 2014 and have shown great commitment. They are providing the T-Shirts, medals and prizes.
Padraic McKeever, from McKeever Sports, said: “We are delighted to be once again sponsoring the Lurgan Park Fun Run. It is a pleasure to get involved in a great cause, and we look forward to the event every year.”
Southern Area Hospice provides their service across the entire Southern Health Board area, including Lurgan, Newry & Mourne, Craigavon, Banbridge, Portadown, Armagh and Dungannon. With an annual fundraising target of over £3.6 million, every donation really does count.
