Move to fight HIV stigma by joining the 2025 World AIDS Day Run.
On Saturday 29th November, the Sexual Health Centre will host a 5k fun run, walk, row, cycle or whichever movement you prefer for World AIDS Day. Established in 2018, the World AIDS Day run has gone from strength to strength and expanded nationally, improving people’s understanding of HIV and awareness of services across Ireland.
⏰ Time:
9.30am, Saturday 29th of November.
📌 Location:
This year’s run is being held both in-person in a number of parkrun locations, and ‘virtually’, so that everyone can participate in their own community if they wish. The parkrun events are timed. Join us at:

→ Glen River Park in Cork, or
→ Tramore Valley Park in Cork, or
→ Marina Market with Frontrunners in Cork (starting at 10am), or
→ Tralee Town Park in Kerry,

→ Your local Park Run anywhere in Ireland.
