More than 9,000 people will run for charity through the new Dublin Port Tunnel before
it opens to traffic next month. The 10km run has attracted participants from a wide
range of charities, with the remaining 1,000 places expected to be filled before
the deadline.
The run, which will take place on December 10th, will be launched 
by the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. As well as raising money for other charities, the
event will raise about ‚€50,000 for the lord mayor’s charity fund, derived from 
a portion of the ‚€25 entry fee.

The tunnel cost ‚€750 million and is one of the longest urban tunnels in Europe.
The tunnel will be open to traffic on December 20th.
