All 5k parkruns in Ireland now have a defibrillator



Over the last few years, many of the 5k parkruns in Ireland have used fundraising to purchase their own defibrillator. Parkrun Ireland have now acquired 17 more AEDs (Automatic Emergency Defibrillator) thanks to a grant from the Sports Capital Programme.

The parkruns in Mallow town and the Glen in Cork City picked up their AED recently thanks to this grant.

It was also mentioned that all new parkruns in the future will have to have an AED.
