Get creative guys!! 🤩

🏅 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🏅

The GR8 Dundrum Run is celebrating its 15th year, and we're inviting our amazing community to help design the 2026 finisher's medal!

Have an idea? We'd love to hear it.

No design experience needed. No fancy software required. A sketch, a doodle, a description, an AI creation, or a fully designed masterpiece — every idea is welcome.

We're looking for inspiration on:

✨ Medal shape
✨ Colours and finish
✨ Wording
✨ Local landmarks and scenery
✨ A special nod to our 15th anniversary

This is your chance to help create something that hundreds of runners will proudly wear around their necks on race day.

🏅 Have a look through some of our previous medal designs for inspiration — we've attached a few of our favourites to get the creative juices flowing!

🎁 Best idea/design wins FREE entry to the GR8 Dundrum Run!

📧 Send your ideas to: [email protected]
📅 Closing date: 30th June 2026

So get creative, share with friends and family, and help us design a medal worthy of this special milestone.

❤️ Because the best medals tell a story — let's tell ours together.

There’s something happening with the Crossgar 10K… 👀

You can feel it starting to build.

More names going in.
More people saying they’re training.
More talk around the village.
More runners getting booked.

And now the event is over 50% full.

This is starting to look like one of those nights people will talk about after it’s over — the kind where you either say:

“I was part of that.”

Or…

“I wish I’d signed up.”

The Crossgar 10K isn’t just for serious runners. It’s for first-timers, comeback runners, club runners, friends, families, and anyone who wants to be part of a brilliant local event during the Summer Festival.
