An Rith 2018

An Rith 2018 is a national festival that will take place between 11 and 17 March 2018 as one of the main events of Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish language week). A 500+km course has been laid out for a massive relay-race run, running from morning to night, from Belfast, around the country to finish in Kerry.

A special hand-carved baton has been designed that will carry a hidden message throughout Rith 2018. At the end of the run, the message of support for the Irish language will be read out, followed by a party to remember!

Anyone can run on any part of the course. You don’t need to pre-register but if you want to be involved you can buy your own kilometre on www.rith.ie and for that part of the run, you and your group will lead the run and carry the baton!

AND IT IS STARTING IN BÉAL FEIRSTE

It's a great family fun day! Run, walk or watch!
