Rachael Blackmore is Thurles Darkness Into Light ambassador
The Thurles Darkness into Light committee is delighted and honoured to announce that the 2025 Thurles Ambassador will be champion jockey Ms Rachael Blackmore.
Hailing from Killenaule, County Tipperary, Rachael is one of the leading National Hunt jockeys in Ireland and Britain and continues to make history in the racing world.
Rachael is a great role model for young girls who share her passion for horses and sport. She continues to demonstrate that with hard work, achieving a dream is possible.
The committee members are delighted that Rachael is joining them for Darkness Into Light 2025, and they wish Rachael the very best with her career and future.
The Darkness into Light event in Thurles has been an outstanding success since its inception a number of years ago with thousands participating and pounding the streets of the Cathedral Town as dawn breaks.
The walk is one of the most inspirational events held in the town on an annual basis and the presence of Rachael will certainly enhance the event greatly.
