The GOAL Mile Clane will take place on St. Stephens day between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm. The 'official runners' start is 11.00am Every year at Christmas GOAL Mile gives friends, family and neighbours the chance to simply run or walk a Mile, and make a donation to GOAL. The popular fundraiser has grown and grown over the years, and is now an integral part of the Christmas period for thousands of people.

Last year, GOAL Miles took place in 130 locations around Ireland and raised in excess of €178,000 for GOAL’s programmes in the developing world.

GOAL could not have done this without those who took part in and, in particular, those who organised Miles up and down the country.

Your continued support is hugely appreciated as it helps GOAL to make a real difference in the 19 countries where we work.

Please do what you can to help make this year’s GOAL Mile Clane the biggest yet!
