Welcome to the homepage of Rith 2010 !
On March 9th 2010, a marathon run began around the island of Ireland, passing the specially designed baton to a different runner/group at the end of each kilometre. Rith 2010 continued for 9 days, running from morning to night across Ulster, Leinster, Munster and Connaught. The run aimed to support the Irish language and visited 15 counties, 250 towns involving thousands of people...
The official baton carried a message of support for the Irish language that was written by the President of Ireland - Click here to read it (in Irish- translation to follow)
We will be uploading photos and videos of Rith 2010 to the website shortly. Keep an eye on www.rith.ie and on our Facebook page during the week.
Rith will be back again in 2012 with a brand new course. More on this to come soon...
