McKinney Games to Bring Unique Running Event to Eikon Exhibition Centre The countdown is on for one of the most exciting sporting events of the year, as the McKinney Games arrive at the Eikon Exhibition Centre on Saturday 4th October 2024.
Far from being just another running event, the McKinney Games have created a buzz with a simple but game-changing promise: every single runner is guaranteed a prize the moment they cross the finish line.
A Race Where Everyone Wins
From the kids’ 1K to the full marathon — and even a 20-miler perfectly timed for Dublin Marathon preparation — the McKinney Games offer distances to suit all ages and abilities. But what sets the event apart is what happens at the finish line.
Each runner will receive a sealed envelope at random as soon as they complete their race. Inside could be anything from £25 McKinney Competitions site credit right up to a £5,000 cash prize. It’s completely random, but it’s also completely guaranteed — meaning every participant walks away with more than just a medal.
Event organisers say the concept is designed to celebrate community and inclusivity, giving every runner, regardless of their pace, something to look forward to.
How It Works
The structure is refreshingly simple:
✅ Pick your distance – from the 1K right up to a marathon.
✅ Join the start line on Saturday 4th October at the Eikon.
✅ Cross the finish line and collect your prize.
More Than Just Miles on the Road
The Eikon Exhibition Centre is preparing to welcome hundreds of runners, families, and supporters for a day filled with energy, community spirit, and celebration.
From family fun runs to serious training opportunities, the McKinney Games are shaping up to be a highlight in the local sporting calendar.
Registration for the McKinney Games is now open, with limited places available across all distances.
