Sanctuary Runners invite Ukrainian refugees to take part in Cork City Marathon

Cork City Marathon organisers to waive entry fees for all those seeking international protection

Together Razem will team up with The Sanctuary Runners for this years's Cork City Marathon.

Sanctuary Runners has said Ukrainian refugees will be part of its team in the Cork City Marathon on June 5.

The solidarity through sports initiative, which was recently acknowledged for its work at the UN in New York, hopes to bring together a team of hundreds for the annual race, including people fleeing war in Ukraine as well as asylum seekers and refugees from direct provision centres.
