Croí, the Heart & Stroke Charity
National
About Us:Croí is an Irish heart and stroke charity based in Galway, dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke.
On Friday, October 9th at 8pm, over 2,000 people will gather on Salthill Prom in Galway for the unforgettable Croí 5km Night Run - a great showing of community spirit and support for heart and stroke services across Ireland.
Last year, we expanded beyond Salthill to five satellite venues — and in 2026, we want YOUR area to be part of our growing community of Night Runners.
This is your chance to:
✔️ Lead something positive in your local community
✔️ Gain real event management & leadership experience
✔️ Build teamwork skills
✔️ Support Croí’s life-saving work
✔️ Be part of a nationwide moment at 8pm sharp
Imagine your town or campus lighting up in solidarity with Salthill.
If you’re part of a college society, GAA club, athletics club, youth group or simply passionate about bringing people together — we’d love to hear from you.
