Start an active and healthy 2018 with a FREE public walk on the 13th January as part of Operation Transformation!

If you are looking for something to get you on the road to a healthy and active 2018, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Sports Partnership has the perfect event for you. As part of our aim to encourage everyone in the County to get active, a FREE 4km public walk will be held on the 13th January in Cabinteely Park at 11am (registration from 10.30am).

This event is being held in conjunction with Sport Ireland and RTE’s Operation Transformation TV 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 from 10.30am beside the main house in Cabinteely Park, the 4km route will bring participants around this picturesque park, is based on pathways and suitable for all walkers. Supported by Sport Ireland and 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, “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 local events, people can become more aware of the excellent walking routes in the County and how it can be made social and fun.”

Providing the perfect chance to put those New Years resolutions into action, all are very welcome and encouraged to attend. Trained walking leaders will be present on the day for a helping hand and there will be a complimentary hot cuppa at the finish line for all.
