197 locations in Ireland and abroad took part in the annual fundraiser for Pieta, the suicide and self-harm prevention charity.
Community members set off from locations including GAA clubs, churches, and schools in the pre-dawn darkness, completing the 5km walk as the sun began to rise.
The annual fundraiser is seen as a crucial to provide vital services for Pieta who provide easily accessible, free-of-charge services online, by phone, or in person to people of all ages and backgrounds in distress or who have been bereaved through suicide.
