Entries still open for Calcutta Run warm-up
There is still time to register for an event being organised by Arachas next week that is aimed at helping participants in this year’s Calcutta Run to limber up.
Arachas, which is the Law Society’s official event partner for this year’s run, is inviting solicitors and firms to enter its ‘Arachas Fittest Firm’ team competition.
The event will take place at Old Wesley Rugby Club, Donnybrook, Dublin 4, on Wednesday 6 May (6pm).
Groups of any number – from one person to a maximum of seven per firm – can enter.
There will be guided warm-ups, short sprints, and novelty races, followed by a BBQ in the clubhouse.
Team leaders
Four top coaches will each be leading a team at the ‘fittest firm’ event:
- Olympian and world champion Sonia O’Sullivan,
- Irish middle‑distance record‑holder Dave Matthews,
- Seán Óg Ó hAilpín – three‑time All‑Ireland winner and one of Cork’s most iconic hurlers, and
- Donegal football star, All-Ireland winner, and former Donegal captain Patrick McBrearty.
Entry is free, but Arachas says that places are limited.
The Calcutta Run 2026 takes place in Dublin on Saturday 23 May, with satellite events taking place in Cork on Saturday 23 May and Galway on Sunday 24 May.
