Volunteer

Description

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.
