We will not be having mass participation events back in time for March but one to note that is moving to a virtual staging is the St Patrick’s Day SPAR Craic 10k.

Belfast’s St Patrick’s Day curtain-raiser in recent years, the SPAR Craic 10k race is going global in 2021 with runners from across the world invited to take part in the virtual event.

Organisers Aisling Events have now issued a call out for one male and one female ambassador to sign up from different cities around the world. They will be supported in encouraging runners to sign up and they will feature as part of the social media promotion in advance.

This year will also see the introduction of a SPAR Craic 5k and 1k, giving as many runners as possible a chance to get our national day of celebration off to a healthy start.

A collection of social media posts will be curated at #CRAIC10K throughout the day.

Everyone who completes and verifies their St Patrick’s Day run will receive a finisher’s medal.

The event’s charity partner, Marie Curie Cancer Care, will receive a £1 donation from every registration fee. It costs £10 to register for any of the events up until January 31st.

If you know of someone from around the world that would be interested, whether they are in Moscow or Marrakesh, Doha or Dallas, they can express their interest by emailing c.mccann@aisling-events.com.
