THE GOAL MILE has become a festive tradition for tens of thousands of people across the country.
The 36th edition of the event, which raises funds for GOAL’s programmes in the developing world, will take place at more than 130 venues in cities, towns and villages across the country over the next few weeks.
Participants run or walk a mile and make a donation to the charity and since the inception of the GOAL mile, millions of euro have been raised.
