The GO NEON Wicklow Town is all about having fun while enjoying the benefits of exercise and achieving your goals.

The event starts and finishes in the environs of The Rowing Club Wicklow Town and follows a well lit out and back loop along the paved section of the Murrough coastline and the Wicklow Town Port Road before the 2.5Km turn at Knockrobin.

Our Neon Wonderland will open at 6:30pm an hour before the run starts, giving you the opportunity to touch up your face paints, glow in our music area, while listening to great music and capturing the moment in the GO NEON selfie room ready for the brightest 5K you'll ever run.

SOUNDS GREAT, HOW DO I SIGN UP?

Registration is open – we’re expecting this to be sell-out event so don’t miss out on your chance to take part.  We really encourage you to make this a family event and have a range of entry fees to reflect this.   Your entry fee includes your access to the music zone before and after the race, running chip and number and some goodies to get you glowing.

What is the route of the run?

The event starts and finishes in the environs of Crossfit Wicklow beside the Rowing Club on Bath Street and follows an back loop along the paved section of the Murrough coastline and the new Port Road before the halfway turning point of 2.5K  at Knockrobin.

The route will have public lighting throughout.  The route will be well signed and marshalled. A route map will follow shortly.

What is the terrain like?

The run has been designed for all ages and fitness levels and is very much about having fun rather than racing. We do appreciate some runners will be hoping for a PB and will endeavour to make this possible. The route will be a mixture of the paved areas paths and cycle lanes. We advise if you want to run it and are not currently a runner to do some training in preparation and wear sensible, comfortable and supportive trainers.

Here is a great Couch to 5K running plan designed to get you started.

How long will the run take?

The run is not a race and there will be no pressure to finish within a certain time. We anticipate that it will take anything from thirty minutes to one hour to complete. Run, dance, skip, walk your way around and most of all enjoy yourself!

What happens if I cannot finish the run?

If you cannot finish the run and feel you might need to stop, you may pull out at any point. Please tell your nearest volunteer marshal who will be able to assist you. If you need to pull out please notify us so that we know that you are safe.

Will it be safe?

Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. We do ask that you bring your mobile phone if you have one, and that it is switched on, fully charged and with plenty of credit on it. The route will be marshalled, signed and takes place on wide traffic free pathways.
