Darkness Into Light 2026
In 2009, in the Phoenix Park in Dublin, 400 people set off on the inaugural Darkness Into Light 5km walk to raise funds for Pieta. From small beginnings, the movement has continued to grow, and now participation averages 120,000 people each year for Darkness Into Light in Ireland, with 177 official walks taking place across the world in 15 countries and 5 continents.
Electric Ireland has proudly supported Darkness Into Light for the past fourteen years. This year we invite you to share a walk on Saturday, 9th May at 4:15am in support of Pieta’s free of charge suicide and self-harm prevention services.
