Two weeks to go!

Only two weeks left until Run For The Border 2026!

It's our 5th year, and Run For The Border keeps growing... We can confirm that over 240 devs are going to be in Ballyconnell on June 26.

A few bonuses you might not have known about:

1. Free drinks! Thanks to StoryToys Dublin, everyone gets a free drink ticket on entry. This can be used at the bar or the coffee van. If one drink isn't enough, we'll have some random optional icebreakers and spot prizes. And of course, you can buy your own all afternoon. Grab us one while you're at it.

2. Free tacos! Biddo's Tex Mex Food van will be showing up between 5 & 7pm. Biddo's guarantees speedy Mexican food made to order at the window: meat, veg, vegan and GF options all available.

Thanks to Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland and Creative Europe Media Desk Galway/Deasc na Heorpa

Cruthaithí Gaillimh Media, everyone gets one free meal voucher.

3. Free snacks! As always, we'll have a selection of crisps, snacks and fruit available on arrival catering to all diets, plus a little something to grab at the end of the night for the bus ride home.

4. Free knowledge! We've announced our speaker line-up! We're proud to offer a wide variety of topics and talents, from first timers to seasoned experts. Have a look here for the full speaker lineup.

All the coaches are FULL (except one seat on the Galway coach which I guess if nobody grabs it everyone can put their coats on it) but self-drive tickets are still available.

If you know anyone not going who you think should be, let them know... Still time to hit 250!

More news, updates and RFTB prep tips to come. See you soon!
