One of our most enjoyable initiatives this year, The Daily Mile Schools Event, took place on Ballyogan Green on Wednesday 13th of November 2019. Over 350 primary school children from 3 local schools (Gaelscoil Sliabh Rua, Holy Trinity and Stepaside Educate Together) completed a mile route within Ballyogan Green and were awarded a medal of achievement at the finish line.
