Parkrun Mullingar adds parkwalk

By Finn MacGinty O’Neill 

Parkrun Mullingar have  announced a new parkwalk initiative for this Saturday, March 2. 

The event director Blánaid Adamson described how some people could be intimidated by running – even the parkrun – as they think it’s only for serious runners.

It is not. It is suitable for all levels of fitness and everyone is welcome.

Blánaid stressed that it’s an event for everyone of any skill level, and hoped the new initiative would encourage people to join in. 

Parkrun Mullingar is every Saturday morning at 9.30am, starting on the canal path (look out for the signs).

The event is steadily growing in popularity, and the volunteer organisers are now encouraging walkers to join in the fun.

Here Blánaid explains what’s behind parkwalk.

There will be walk leaders and a tail walker.
