Leader’s Note:

Come and join me as I mark my 100th event as a Parkrun Volunteer. 

Parkrun welcomes walkers. Register on www.parkrun.ie if you haven’t already done so. You can select “Skerries Walking” as your “running” club when you register.   Bring your printed barcode, or take a photo of your barcode and bring it on your phone, if you want your time recorded.   

This course is good preparation for those who would like to consider hillwalking but have only been walking on the flat, as the course contains some short inclines.  There is always a tailwalker at the event so you will never be last 😊.

Directions from Skerries:  Car Parking available near main entrance to Ardgillan Castle HERE or near Lady Stairs on Balbriggan Road HERE. Bicycle parking available at the front of the castle.

Covid-19 related: Walkers are advised that they will be asked to confirm that they have no Covid-19 like symptoms and agree to walk at their own risk.  The organisers cannot accept any liability in the event of injury/Covid-19 infection

WhatsApp : for ease of communication a Whats App group will be set up for the group coming on this walk. If you do not wish to be included please let the leader know when registering your interest in the walk. 

General:
