Fancy a Walk on Paddy’s Day?

Join the 18th annual Aware Harbour2Harbour Walk on St Patrick’s Day, Monday, 17th March 2025

Are you looking for something different to do this St Patrick’s Day?

Join us at the 18th annual Aware Harbour2Harbour Walk on St Patrick’s Day, Monday, 17th March 2025. An official event of St Patrick’s Festival, over 3,000 enthusiastic walkers are expected to take on the 26 km challenge with the option of starting from Howth Harbour or Dun Laoghaire Harbour and finishing at the opposite harbour. 

The walk is suitable for most fitness levels, but there’s no pressure to complete the full walk – you decide what distance works for you! Along the way you can take in scenic Dublin Bay and stop off at the Halfway Hooley hosted at Dublin Port’s historic Pumphouse, with complimentary refreshments and entertainment.

All participants will receive an event t-shirt which can be collected on the day at the start of the walk. If you have taken part before and still have your t-shirt, we would encourage you to wear it this year too.

Registration is now open. Adult tickets are €27 and child tickets are €10.

The Aware Harbour2Harbour Walk is a flagship fundraising event for Aware, the national charity supporting people impacted by depression and bipolar disorder. Aware directly supports up to 40,000 people each year via our support and education services.

We can’t do this without your help! Your participation or donation will help raise vital funds to ensure the organisation can continue to deliver its free support, education and information services to individuals and communities nationwide.

Thank you for your support.

About Aware

We are the national organisation providing free support, education and information services to people impacted by anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and related mood conditions.  

Aware was founded in 1985 by Dr Patrick McKeon and a small but dedicated team of volunteers, many of whom had their own personal experience with depression or bipolar disorder. The organisation developed in response to the clear need for information, understanding and support, both for the individuals experiencing depression or bipolar disorder as well as family members supporting a loved one.

Since then, what began as one support group in Dublin has grown and flourished to become a nationwide presence which has saved many lives and has, for countless others, eased the suffering and distress that depression can bring. 

Today the three pillars of Aware’s work are support, education and information. The organisation offers services to include Support & Self Care Groups, a Support Line and Support Mail, along with a range of positive mental health programmes designed to empower people with the knowledge, skills and tools to manage their mental health and live well. 

We believe that recovery from depression is possible.
