Solas Run & Walk for Life 2026

Solas Run & Walk for Life 2026 is a running event with 5 Km and 10 km distances in Waterford City, County Waterford on Sunday 11 October 2026, starting at 9am. Registration is online. This is the 16th year of the event and it offers a range of options to those taking part. A new 5K walk has been added to Waterford and to encourage families to take part in tandem with the 10K routes. The popular virtual option is also available and workplaces are being encouraged to once again #GoOrangeForSolas. “The Run and Walk for Life is the most action-packed and exciting weekend of the year for Solas Cancer Support Centre. The atmosphere is always unbelievable and this year we’re celebrating the 15th year of the event. It’s a great opportunity to reflect on what the event means to the community in Waterford city and county. The Run and Walk for Life is our main fundraiser annually and funds are needed now more than ever. This year, we’ve seen a 30% increase in demand for our services. Some of those services include complementary therapy, counselling, life coaching acupuncture, wellness class, support group and information sessions.”
