Run the Line is a fundraising event for Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team.
Our mountains can be used for so much for the hardy among us – walking, climbing, camping, mountain-biking, kayaking and hillrunning.
Our event “Run the Line” aims to cater for both the seasoned hill-runner and also those runners who want to give the hills a try – a choice of two routes, each with plenty of climbs and varied surfaces. See our “route” section for details on the options.
The participant will get to enjoy the views of Dublin City and the invigorating feeling of running through beautiful pine forests, all the while knowing that our mountain rescue team is at hand to cater for any eventuality. And the fact that you are raising funds for a vital service on top of that!
The Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team was set up to help people in need of assistance in the hills and mountains, and we cater for a broad range of recreational users of the Dublin and Wicklow Mountains.
For the past few years we have successfully run a night and day time hikes over the mountains, to fund-raise for our life-saving activities ('Walk the Line').
There is always a cadre of lean, hardy hill-runners who choose to do this event much faster than the majority, by running across the route. We decided that it might be worthwhile to run an event specifically for runners and so the idea for “Run the Line” was born.
About the Team
