The Johnny McKenna Charity Run is held in Drogheda, County Louth, on Saturday 7 November 2026, with a single 5 kilometre route on offer. It is a charity event, so the day centres on a friendly, community-minded run through the town rather than on times or placings. Entries and the final race-day details are handled through the organiser's registration page, and runners are advised to check there for the most recent information before travelling.

Other questions
Charity 5K events of this kind usually welcome walkers as well as runners, but places and timings for walkers are set by the organiser. Contact them through the registration page if you plan to walk the route.
The event is a charity run organised in memory of Johnny McKenna, and proceeds go to the charity or charities nominated by the family and organising committee. The beneficiary is confirmed on the organiser's registration page.
Entry on the day depends on whether places remain after online registration closes. Where on-the-day entries are accepted, they are usually at a higher fee and may be cash only, so ask the organiser in advance.
