IUFoST Fun Run
The IUFoST 5K Fun run will take place the morning of Tuesday 23rd August in the grounds of the University College Dublin campus. The theme for this race is the Baton of Hope with the baton symbolising ‘education’ and the ‘sharing of knowledge’. The aim of this race is to have fun, get in some morning exercise and to support two worthy educational causes. We will let James Lyng, our IUFoST local organising committee member explain more…..
Funds raised will be used for two causes, one local and one international
1. Local cause: A bursary will be provided for an Irish based early stage researcher to attend the 19th IUFoST World Congress in 2018 in India.
2. International cause: Remaining funds will be used to support an ambitious research programme in Southern Ethiopia aimed at transforming the livelihoods of millions who ‘exist’ under the constant threat of recurring climatic extremes.
For more information on the route of the 5 kilometre course please take a look at our video running the entire course and get your bearings before you come!
