New 5k parkrun starting in Killarney in June...

It was announced recently that a new 5k parkrun will be starting in Killarney on Saturday the 6th of June 2015. The 5km route will be in the Killarney Demense and will start at 9:30am every Saturday morning.

Slowly but surely there are more parkruns being rolled out across the country. On the 23rd of May, a new one will be starting in New Ross in Co.Wexford.

Parkruns are free timed 5k runs and are held in numerous locations. To take part, you just need to be registered first and then you print out a bar code which you take to all future events.

You can register by going to the parkrun website.
