Michael Byrne 'Old Man Belfield' Fun Run

Michael Byrne (affectionately known as “Old Man Belfield”) was a beloved member of the UCD community, and his presence on campus for more than 30 years greatly impacted generations of UCD staff, students and local residents. Michael chose to make UCD his home and in doing so, became a wonderful part of the fabric of the Belfield campus.

To celebrate Michael’s life and the deep affection held for him by the UCD Community, for the second year in a row the UCD Michael Byrne Mile is being held in his home of UCD. This event will bring people together to remember Michael and raise funds to support the Michael Byrne Community Fund, established by UCD in memory of Michael to foster community building activities in UCD, and to support students who may not be able to afford accommodation.

Join us for a mile run/walk on the UCD running track between 12pm – 2pm in memory of Michael. There will be an official mile run/walk on the track kicking off on the half hour at the following times – 12pm, 12.30pm, 1pm and 1.30pm. To book your place, please click the link below.
