Former Dublin midfielder Michael Darragh Macauley is the new CEO of Sanctuary Runners.

The eight-time Sam Maguire Cup winner, who has worked for Dublin’s Northeast Inner City (NEIC) in recent years, take over from founder Graham Clifford. Sanctuary Runners is a prominent not-for-profit organisation which brings together cross-community groups to engage in various activities including running and jogging. The group recently launched the Sanctuary Swimmers initiative in collaboration with Swim Ireland.

"As someone who has always believed in the power of sport for social good, I have been a huge supporter of the work Sanctuary Runners has done over the last few years,” the Ballyboden St Enda’s clubman said.

“Now, more than ever, Sanctuary Runners has a role to play all over the island of Ireland in bringing communities closer together. I’m excited to help grow our message of Solidarity, Friendship, Respect over the coming years.”
