Parkrun gets underway in Dundalk this Saurday
Parkrun organise free, weekly, 5km timed runs around the world. They are open to everyone, free, and are safe and easy to take part in.
The local event gets underway at 9.30am on Saturday at Dundalk IT, with local councillor Tomás Sharkey encouraging people to get involved.
“ParkRun is a brilliant initiative. A 5km route has been measured out in the playing fields at DKIT. Every Saturday morning, starting at 9.30am there will be a free service where your running or walking time around the course will be measured and recorded.
“All you have to do is go to the www.parkrun.ie website and register. You will receive a barcode which you scan each week at the course. It is a great way of monitoring your progress.
“I want to encourage as many people as possible to register with this new service for the area and to take part in the weekly runs.”
The Parkrun will take place every Saturday at the same time with a free post run coffee available afterwards in the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
