Run Run Rudolph 5K

Our “Run Run Rudolph” Christmas running event is back for 2025 but will be even bigger & better – we’ve updated the 10 KM course to have a single lap route touching the Curragh plains & have added a tough & fairly hilly 1/2 Marathon course also on the Curragh plains to compliment our 5 & 10K routes. 

Our Run Run Rudolph 2025 running event's will take place on Sunday the 14th of December 2025 starting & finishing at our clubhouse.

Note: the Family Walk/Run has been moved to Saturday night (Dec 13th) - when we will light up our Community Walkway to create an amazing Christmas atmosphere.

Again, this event is a fundraiser supporting the addition of 3 Hurling & Football playing pitches & other infrastructure at our Kilcullen clubhouse, all part of our “Field of Dreams” plans. if you have come in previous years - you will see very significant progress on our development.  

Our three routes have still to be finalised but here are links to the proposed routes, we will confirm all routes 4 weeks before race day

Only the 5K event is open to walkers as most of our marshals are cooking Sunday dinner at home later.

If bringing a dog with you - they must be kept on a lead at all times & controlled.

Prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd Male & Female runners in all 3 events & as per last year we will endeavour to offer additional age group prizes if we can secure sponsorship between now & the start line. We'll update this in the coming weeks. 

Online entry close at midday Saturday the 13th of December, late entries will be available the evening before at the Clubhouse & limited late entries on Sunday morning (but only before 10:30AM).

Note: Registration may close earlier if we reach our numbers limit before this date.

Again this year we are offering a postal service (for an additional fee). Our partner Pop-Up Races will post your event numbers to you approximately 1 week before the event thus making your event morning easier & stress free.

1/2 Marathon start - 10:30 AM
