Every €1 your team donates or fundraises = 1 point
. Your score = Your time + fundraising points.

Battle Run offers three distances, allowing you to choose the challenge that suits you best. Race solo or share the experience in a team relay. Each division also includes an option for a hardcore version, where you can add extra grit by wearing a ruck.

All tickets come with the same perks as our other challenges: an athlete t-shirt, finisher’s patch, access to all the action at Battle Dublin, free race and finish line photos, and more!
