The Mayo Sports Partnership in association with Mayo Athletic Club and Balla Bórd na nÓg are holding a 5km Fun Run on Sunday October 26th at 3pm. This fun run is suitable for walkers, joggers, runners and elite runners. It is a great opportunity for people of all fitness levels to take part and a chance for a family afternoon out that includes a bit of exercise, some refreshments and some socialising.

Mayo Athletic Club has recently been included in the Athletic Association of Irelands Fit4Life programme and in partnership with the Mayo Sports Partnership is actively promoting the programme within the county. They plan to set up meet and train groups in the Autumn and are presently getting people trained up to train these groups throughout South Mayo initially then hopefully branching out to other areas of Mayo.

The race in Balla is an invitation to anyone who thinks that they could Walk, Plod, Jog or run. If you have been thinking for a long time about getting started then now is your chance. You will get loads of support from other people who have just started or are already exercising/training regularly. Remember we all have to make a start. That really is the difficult bit. Once you get going you will wonder why you didn’t start sooner.

So put the date in your diary. Whether you are from Mayo or outside the county everyone is welcome to this fun event on October 26th at 3pm. The entry fee is €10.00 and maximum of €20 per family.
