On the day, please bring your fundraised cash or a screenshot of your ‘iDonate.ie’ profile. Payments can also be made using the iDonate QR code (including Apple and Google Pay), with a credit/debit card, or by cheque.  
 
Cheques should be made payable to “The Calcutta Run”. 
 
If you require a receipt of sponsorship monies donated or wish to fill out an appropriate certificate for tax relief purposes, please ask your registrar. 

6km/10km route – no change

The 6km route will hopefully encourage individuals new to the sport of running or who wish to walk a shorter distance, to commit to participating in the Calcutta Run. 

10km

The modified 10km will enhance the safety of all runners and walkers, while making the route flatter by minimising hills. Hopefully this will make running the course faster and lots of personal bests will be broken on the day.
