The Challenge

Our now annual Bog Run is the muddiest 5k around and we need your support to make 2025 bigger than ever!

With family, friends and colleagues, challenge yourself against nature this March by crawling through bushes, climbing over fallen trees, and wading through mud pits all for an incredible cause.

Registration on the day for our Junior Bog Run takes place in Lough Boora Discovery Park from 10am with wave starts between 11am-12pm. Registration on the day for our Senior Bog Run takes place from 11.00am -11.30am with wave starts between 12pm-1.30pm. You will be assigned a specific wave start time no later than 1 week before the event!

Please note, all participants must be pre-registered online. Registrations on the day cannot be accepted. Online registration closes at 4pm on Thursday March 20th, or sooner if the event sells out. So sign up early to secure your spot!

Your Impact

Every month across Ireland, 28 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer.

At Cancer Fund for Children, we understand the devastating impact a cancer diagnosis and its treatment have on the whole family, and that beyond the essential medical care, there is a family life that needs to be rebuilt. Our aim is to empower, connect and strengthen families, so they feel equipped to deal with whatever cancer throws at them. This simply wouldn’t be possible without you.

By taking on the Bog in March 2025, we can continue to ensure that our team of Cancer Support Specialists are there to provide support in the family home and community in Munster, Leinster, and Connaught, on the hospital ward at Crumlin, Dublin and at Daisy Lodge, our therapeutic short break centre in Newcastle, Co. Down.

In 2025 our Daisy Lodge in Cong, Co. Mayo will commence building – we will soon be able to more than double the number of families who are offered short therapeutic breaks!

Together, we can ensure no child has to face cancer alone.
