The first event of the GT5K Corporate Team Challenge takes place in Cork City on Tuesday September 6th at 7.45pm.
This will be the 11th year of the GT5K series which has grown from a single event in one location to series of 5K races involving over 8,000 participants, covering each province in the country. Three-time Olympian Derval O’Rourke will be race ambassador this year once again, while Irish Rugby Player James Lowe, BBC Journalist Holly Hamilton and Conor Oliver, Connacht Rugby player will join this year’s social squad.
Building on the success of the recent virtual events, organisers are also delighted to announce that a virtual option will also be available to participants internationally on the 4th October.
Grant Thornton's GT5K Ireland ambassador Derval O’Rourke was one of the many runners who participated in last year’s virtual run.
Commenting on her involvement in the GT5K, Olympian Derval O’Rourke said: ‘I am delighted to be the national ambassador for the GT5K again this year. It was brilliant to see so many people take part in the virtual run last year, but I look forward to the buzz of seeing people on race night taking part in person, but also delighted to see that the virtual race option is available for participants all over the country.’
Aimed at encouraging social running amongst the business community across the country and indeed internationally via the virtual format, the event welcomes everybody from seasoned runners to complete beginners. Each run can be completed individually or as a team, with four participants on each team. Team members’ times are combined to determine the winner in each category. There are three categories; male, female & mixed.
