Earlier this summer, the great Irish writer Con Houlihan died. His friend Frank Greally, editor of the Irish Runner, wanted to celebrate his life and out of that came Sunday's Remembrance Run - a 5km in Dublin's Phoenix Park (11.0) in celebration of all our loved ones.

"The month of November is a time of remembrance for everyone at year's end - an ideal time to remember family or friends passed and present, and to celebrate our own gift of days," says Greally.

Among those entered are Irish hockey international Nikki Symmons, Irish cricket international Kevin O'Brien and broadcaster Donncha ó Dulaing with his son, Donncha.

Late entries will be taken on the day near the Furze Road.
