The first of the annual “Run for Ryan” 10km event is set to take place on March 8, 2025. This event commemorates the life of Ryan McCabe, the visionary leader of Odro and devoted family man, who tragically passed away on June 22, 2024, at the age of 35.
Ryan was a brave leader renowned for revolutionising the recruitment industry but ultimately was deeply cherished as a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend. To honour his memory, the “Run for Ryan” event aims to bring together participants both in-person and virtually from around the globe, with all proceeds benefiting the Ryan McCabe Foundation.
The 300 places for the in-person event taking place on the 8th March at Chatelherault Country Park, Hamilton, sold out in just a few days, but now we’re calling on people from all over the world to join us in the virtual event. So far, we’ve seen sign ups from Sydney to Boston, and independent organisers forming groups in London, Leeds, Leicester, Sydney, Cardiff, Boston and Dubai so far.
“Run for Ryan” is proudly sponsored by Odro, Bravehearts Boxing Gym, and Greenback Group. Thanks to their generous support, 100% of the £25 entry fee will go directly to the Ryan McCabe Foundation. This supports various charities that were close to Ryan’s heart, including Teenage Cancer Trust, MacMillan Cancer Support, Andy’s Man Club, Eilidh’s Rainbow, and Make a Wish Foundation.
Roisin McCabe – Ryan’s wife and organiser of the event – says: “I can’t thank everyone enough. Everyone who has signed up because they knew or knew of Ryan. Everyone who has reached out to me with words of kindness. You’re helping me and together we’ll help so many others through the charities the foundation will offer support to.”
