Irish running legend, Sonia O’ Sullivan has signed up to be part of this year’s GOAL Mile campaign as the event goes global. The long-standing GOAL patron has even agreed to lead the first ever Mile in Melbourne, Australia.

It’ll be the first ever time in the 32-year history of the event that it will be held in the southern hemisphere, and we are hoping that Sonia and her team can get the Melbourne-Irish and the Aussies out and running on the day.

Miles will also be held this year in New York and London and in more than 100 locations across Ireland. If you would like to organise a Mile in your area, please email Cathy at fundraising@goal.ie or call 01 280 9779.
