Participants in the 2025 Calcutta Run
This much-loved legal community event raises vital funds for two inspiring charities – Dublin Simon Community and The Hope Foundation – supporting people affected by homelessness in Ireland and Kolkata. Since it began in 1999, Calcutta Run has raised over €5.9 million in vital charity funds, making it the largest event in the legal calendar each year. This would not have been possible without the fundraising efforts made by the legal community each year – thank you!
