2022 Spirit Sandyford 5k

The 2022 Spirit Sandyford 5k returns this September, taking place on Thursday September 29th at 7.30pm. 

This will be the first time that the race has taken place as a physical event since 2019.

The race will be held on the roads of the Sandyford Business District area and is hosted by Dundrum South Dublin Athletic Club in association with the Sandyford Business District.

Over 750 runners, joggers and walkers will take part in the race, which continues to grow in popularity since it began in 2015.

Organisers are expecting a great turnout for the event this year, as people embrace the appetite to return to physical events post-pandemic.

Teams of four are invited to enter the race, and all team runners start together, with team scores determined by the total time of all members of the team.

Teams will compete to win an array of prizes, ranging from cash prizes to vouchers provided by sponsors including Total Physio.

The race starts and ends on Three Rock Road in the heart of the Sandyford Business District.

Participants will meet up after the race at the Race HQ at Spirit Skoda on Rowan Avenue, where they will be able to enjoy refreshments, engage with event sponsors, and of course experience the prize-giving ceremony.

Each person taking part will receive a commemorative medal, along with a technical race t-shirt which this year is being provided by sportwear brand Joma for the first time.

David O’Leary, General Manager of organisers Dundrum South Dublin A.C., is looking forward to this year’s race:

“The Spirit Sandyford 5k has been a hugely popular addition to the running calendar and has been embraced by the Sandyford business community.

“We’re particularly excited to be able to return physically to the streets of the Sandyford Business District this year for the first time since 2019, and we hope that workers and residents in the area will welcome the opportunity to get involved.”

Spirit Motor Group will once again be title sponsors for the event, and they will be joined by the event’s partners – BNP Paribas, Beacon Hospital, Joma, Total Physio and McKenna Creative, as well as the Sandyford Business District, who have championed the event since it started.
