The 5th Slane Castle 5km trail run/walk will take place on Sunday 12th May in the majestic grounds of Slane Castle. It’s a great morning out for the whole family! The 5k route takes you around the castle grounds, along the river and through the forest with the Castle as a backdrop. There will be t-shirts for under 16’s and for the first 200 adults on the day. The refreshments and home baked goods at the finish line are worth the trip alone!
