Did you know? 1.57 million people in Ireland can speak Irish. 538,283 speak it every day.
You will notice below that the kilometres are marked…
Available – You can buy the kilometre by clicking on the "Buy now" button
Contact Us - you can buy the kilometre on behalf of a school/group but to do so, you need to do through the County Kilkenny/Tipperary coordinator for Rith 2010 at cillchannaigh@rith.ie or fill in the form on www.rith.ie Why are some of the kilometres reserved? As Rith 2010 is a community baed festival, we would prefer that the kilometres in the towns and villages be purchased by schools or community groups rather than private individuals or businesses. We are hoping that groups such as the following will buy the reserved kilometres: Schools, Colleges, Youth Clubs, Irish language groups, Community Groups, Sports Clubs, Scouts, Girl Guides etc.
Sold – The kilometre has been purchased by another person/group. You can view on the website who they are.
@ Club Rith - A social night with the best of music, traditional Irish performances and good company, called "Club Rith", will be on every night during the festival. Rith 2010 will take a rest from the roads but the run will continue instead in the Club. In the middle of the session and the craic, threadmills be be organised to allow an opportunity to those who wish to buy a kilometre and participate in the run.
