Monasterboice 5K returns with Talent Hunter as main sponsor
Popular community event set to welcome runners and walkers to Monasterboice on Saturday, 29th August
The popular Monasterboice 5K is set to return later this month, with Talent Hunter coming on board as the main sponsor of this year’s event.
Taking place on Saturday, August 29, the event will once again bring runners, joggers and walkers together for what promises to be a great morning in Monasterboice.
Hosted by Naomh Mairtin, the 5K has a strong community focus and is open to participants of all abilities, from experienced runners looking to post a good time to those taking on the distance for the first time.
The event has become a popular fixture locally, bringing together members of the club and the wider community while also attracting runners from across Louth and surrounding counties.
Organisers are hoping for another strong turnout this year, with the emphasis very much on participation and creating an enjoyable event for everyone involved. The 5K also provides a perfect target for those who have taken up running or returned to exercise in recent months, while regular runners will have the opportunity to test themselves over the distance.
This year’s event will be supported by TalentHunter.ie, who have been confirmed as the main sponsor.
Talent Hunter said they were delighted to support an event which encourages participation while bringing the local community together.
“We’re delighted to support the Monasterboice 5K and to play a small part in what is a fantastic local event,” said a TalentHunter.ie spokesperson.
“There is a great community spirit around the 5K, and we’re looking forward to seeing runners and walkers of all abilities taking part on the day.”
A considerable amount of work goes on behind the scenes to stage a community road race, with volunteers playing an important role in ensuring the event runs smoothly.
Support from local residents and spectators along the route also helps create the atmosphere that makes events such as the Monasterboice 5K a highlight of the local running calendar.
With the date now approaching, organisers are encouraging people to get registered, whether they plan to race the 5K, jog with friends or simply enjoy a walk around the course.
The Monasterboice 5K takes place on Saturday, August 29, 2026, with runners, joggers and walkers all welcome to take part. You can register at https://www.popupraces.ie/race/monasterboice-5k-2026/
