The team spanned 40 nationalities. A year later 360 Sanctuary Runners took part in the race. In 2019, the Sanctuary Runners spread to a dozen different locations across Ireland - from Killarney to Sligo and Longford to Waterford. There’s now 1,200 runners across Ireland, participating in over 30 running events across Ireland and they also work with the parkrun
