Extern Dambusters

Join us in the race to end homelessness

Homelessness Impacts upon thousands of children, individuals and families in Northern Ireland every day, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

In Extern we are here every day to support hundreds of families and individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

This summer, YOU can join Extern in the race to end homelessness and together we can change lives.

Enter Here  

Taking place on Saturday, August 17th, 2019, the Extern Dambusters Run, which takes place in the stunning Silent Valley, Co. Down, has something for all fitness levels.

In association with the award-winning Born2Run events, there’s a 5k run, a 10k run or 10kwalk, and a half marathon (part of the official Pure Running Half Marathon series).

HELP US CHANGE LIVES WITH EVERY STEP

Opt to fundraise for Extern and we will provide you with a free running vest and sponsorship pack.

You can also create your own fundraising page on our website.
