About this race
The Very Pink Run Dublin 5k is a family-focused fun run, jog, walk or wheel based at Leopardstown Racecourse in south County Dublin, organised by Breast Cancer Ireland as a major fundraiser for its research and awareness work. The 5k course follows the grounds and surrounding paths of the racecourse setting, on an accessible and largely flat route designed to welcome men, women and children of all abilities rather than to chase fast times. The event is not chip timed and has a relaxed, celebratory feel, attracting a sea of participants dressed in pink. Beyond the run itself, the morning features a pinktastic showcase with music, face painters and family entertainment, and the entry includes a t-shirt, race bib and finishing medal. With thousands turning out each year in support of those affected by breast cancer, the 5k offers a fun, inclusive and uplifting community occasion in an attractive parkland-style venue.
