Global Solidarity Run 2026

Supported by the Embassy of Ireland Singapore and St. Patrick's Society Singapore we are delighted to be participating in this year's Global Solidarity Run.

The Global Solidarity Run will bring people around the world together in October 2026 to show solidarity with all those who are forcibly displaced and those living in extreme poverty. Organised by Sanctuary Runners, this is a unique event where people can run, jog or walk any distance as part of one global team. #footprintsforsolidarity
