Make Every Mile Count for BCW at the Dublin Marathon

Join our team and thousands of runners for this iconic event through the streets of Dublin. Whether this is your first marathon or you’re chasing a personal best, you won’t be doing it alone. From the moment you sign up, Brighter Communities Worldwide will be with you every step of the way—supporting, encouraging, and cheering you on as you take on this incredible challenge.

Every mile you run will be helping to create lasting change for families in the communities we work with, ensuring a brighter future for all.

Take part

To take part with Brighter Communities Worldwide, we ask you to fundraise €1,750 ahead of race day on October 25th 2026. But you won’t be on this journey by yourself—we’ll be there to guide and support your fundraising efforts, helping you reach your goal and make a meaningful impact.

Your challenge will help families facing the realities of climate change and threats to their health and livelihoods to adapt, rebuild, and grow stronger. Together, we are building resilience and strengthening communities in Kenya. Where health is strengthened, stability endures. Where livelihoods are secure, opportunity grows. Where education thrives, new ideas take flight.

And throughout your marathon journey, remember: every training run, every early morning, every mile on race day—you are part of something bigger. You are supported, you are making a difference, and you are helping to build a stronger, more connected world for us all.
