The second annual sumo run, Ireland.

Ireland has hosted the 2nd annual sumo run event to raise funds for a cancer support organization.


Hundreds of people have taken part in the fun charity event. Competitors run 5 kilometers over a mixture of grass and concrete ground whilst wearing inflated Sumo suits.

All participants wear nylon inflatables which have maintained their shape with the help of inbuilt fans. Sumo Run Ireland was established to raise funds for a charity that helps the families of cancer patients.

The world record for the largest number of people dressed as sumo wrestlers was broken last year with 293 participants.
