The organisers are asking individuals and groups to get involved, either by running part of the course (through An Sean Phobal, An Rinn, Dún Garbhán and Dún na Mainistreach) or by simply coming out to cheer people on along the course. Help us to ensure that the Co. Waterford leg of this 700 km nonstop relay run from Cork to Belfast will be one of the best-supported sections of the event.

The specially-commissioned relay-baton, which will be carried the entire length of the Rith 2014 route, will include a special message of hope for the Irish language from President Michael D Higgins.
