Vhi A Lust For Life 5k/10k Phoenix Park Run

One of the fastest growing running events in Ireland is back for another year. The Vhi A Lust For Life 5k/10k Phoenix Park Run brought to you the Irish Independent takes place this year on Saturday 5th March in the Phoenix Park.

Over 4,000 runners helped to spread the message to “Run Your Life” and pledged their support to A Lust For Life and Bressie. That includes over 2,000 first time runners. This year, the event will be bigger and better.

Nowadays we live busy lives and push ourselves physically and mentally more than ever. A Lust For Life is a movement for wellbeing. We believe in the power of creating and sharing information that can help us all navigate this sometimes difficult but often wonderful world.

So over the course of the the next 3 months, both the Irish Independent and A Lust For Life are going to prepare you both physically and mentally to join us on Saturday March 5th for a 5k run or a 10k run (or even just walk the course). There will be training plans out every week in Health & Living every Monday and online in our event hub. By March you will indeed be ready to “Run Your Life” and help spread the positive message that A Lust For Life lives by.

Let this be your goal for 2016 and we can assure you that you won’t be disappointed.
