Slane Castle 5K

Description: We are delighted to celebrate the 10th year of the popular ‘Slane Castle 5km Trail Run/Walk’ which will take place on Sunday 11th of May 2025 in the scenic grounds of Slane Castle, with a starting line ready for take off at 9.30am sharp. The 5km route itself is completely within the breathtaking castle estate and includes the scenic forest trail along the River Boyne. This is a real opportunity for everyone regardless of ability or fitness level to experience the magnificent surrounds of Slane Castle. Keatings Oil has generously come on board as our main sponsor for this popular event which saw over 400 participants (adults & children) take part in 2024. The event, now in its tenth year is organised by The Parents’ Association of St. Patrick's National School, Slane, along with help from Meath Local Sports Partnership, Slane Castle and the Civil Defence. The fun community day has become the much anticipated annual fundraiser with all proceeds going towards the development of the outdoor learning spaces at Slane National School. There are t-shirts for the first 200 adults (on the day) and the first 200 U16’s. We also have finishing medals for the first 400 over the line! After race refreshments and home baked goods will be available free of charge to all who support the event.
