Tshirt Sponsors 2026
Blasco Solicitors Proud to Support the Maynooth 10k and 5k Family Run 2026
Blasco Solicitors Return as Proud Sponsors of the Community 10K & 5K
The Community 10K & 5K is delighted to welcome back Blasco Solicitors as a major sponsor for a second consecutive year — a partnership that continues to grow from strength to strength, rooted in community, connection and shared achievement.
Blasco Solicitors is the leading Spanish Law firm in Ireland. Working closely with Irish clients to provide legal assistance in all aspects of Spanish law. Our bi-lingual fluency in both Spanish and English, combined with our working knowledge and experience in both jurisdictions, simplifies the legal process significantly saving our clients both time and money.
This year, their support goes even further, with Blasco Solicitors proudly sponsoring the official race t-shirts 👕 and medal lanyards.
Even more special, members of the Blasco Solicitors team will also be joining the start line again, running alongside their families, friends, colleagues and first-time participants. It’s a reflection of what this event is all about: coming together, supporting one another and crossing the finish line in style — together.
A Community Event at Heart
At its core, the Community 10K & 5K is about more than running. It’s about doing great things for our active, unified community and shared experiences — parents and children, friends and neighbours, colleagues and clubs all moving at their own pace, but heading toward the same goal.
Support from local partners like Blasco Solicitors helps make this possible. Their contribution helps ensure the event remains inclusive, welcoming and accessible to runners of all abilities.
More Than a Sponsor
What makes this partnership so meaningful is the way it extends beyond traditional sponsorship. Blasco Solicitors are not only supporting the event — they are part of it.
From sponsoring race-day essentials to stepping out onto the course themselves, their involvement reflects a genuine commitment to community wellbeing and participation.
Moments like a mother and daughter crossing the finish line together, or friends cheering each other on in the final stretch, are exactly what this event celebrates. And it is partnerships like this that help bring those moments to life.
Crossing the Finish Line Together
As race day approaches, excitement continues to build across Maynooth and beyond. The streets will soon be filled with runners of all ages and abilities, each with their own story, goal, and reason for taking part.
Thanks to the support of Blasco Solicitors, those stories come together in one shared experience — a celebration of effort, encouragement, and community spirit.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the time on the clock — it’s about crossing the finish line together, in style, and with a sense of pride that lasts long after the race is over.
A heartfelt thank you to Blasco Solicitors for being part of that journey once again.
We look forward to seeing you at the starting line
