The Irish Run the World Global 5K Fun Run is a series of charity fun runs in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, and is part of a global event which takes place on the same day in 17 cities around the world.

Starting in Brisbane, Australia, the Young Leaders will run a 5k in their respective cities before passing the "virtual baton" off to the next city. The Global 5K will conclude when the last Young Leader crosses the finish line in San Francisco!
