Why not take part in a fun social walk in a local park and burn off some of those Christmas calories?

As part of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Sports Partnerships aim to encourage residents of the County to get active, a free walking event will be held on the morning of the 14th January in Marlay Park. This event is being held in conjunction with the Irish Sports Council and RTE’s Operation Transformation programme. On this day every County in Ireland will have a similar walking event to cater for all levels of fitness, but in particular those looking to start exercising again.
Meeting at 10.45am beside the new playground at the College Road entrance to Marlay Park, the 4km route will be around the picturesque park, based on pathways and suitable for all levels of walker. Supported by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, this event will provide the perfect chance to put those New Years resolutions into action.

Speaking in advance of the event, Shane McArdle, Coordinator with the Sports Partnership remarked, “Getting active makes such a big difference to your health, helping to reduce stress, ease back pain and reduce the risk of heart disease. For heart health adults need at least 30 minutes of physical activity, such as brisk walking, five days a week. By taking part in these types of events, local people can become more aware of the excellent parks available in the County and how walking can be made social and fun.”

Trained walking leaders will be present on the day for a helping hand and information on the history of park. All are very welcome and encouraged to attend.

For further information on this event and to register your interest please contact Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Sports Partnership at 01-2719502 or sportspartnership@dlrcoco.ie.
