RUN IN THE DARK WEXFORD

County Wexford Chamber

What is it?

As darkness sweeps around the world on November 13th, 25,000 people in 50 cities will get up from their armchairs, slip on their red flashing armbands and pull on their running shoes to hit the road for Run in the Dark. Together, from Sydney to San Francisco, these people will light up the night as they hit the road to run in the dark. And, you can be part of it – wherever you are in the world!

Why are we doing it?

Unbroken by blindness in 1998, adventure athlete Mark Pollock was left paralysed in 2010. Now, he is exploring the intersection where humans and technology collide and catalysing collaborations that have never been done before to cure paralysis in our lifetime.


Through Run in the Dark, Mark Pollock aims to inspire people to build resilience and collaborate with others so that, together, they achieve more than they thought possible. For some that means gathering a group of friends or colleagues to train hard and get fit with a 5k or 10k run. For others it means building a team of experts to perform better.

At the Mark Pollock Trust, it means supporting Mark to deal with the ongoing physical, psychological and financial impact of his catastrophic spinal cord injury, while also allowing him to pursue his personal mission to cure paralysis in our lifetime
