JUVENILE WINTER TRAINING – Our juveniles joining the Parkrun Family, Strength & Conditioning sessions and more…

In October 2024 some of juveniles began a weekly programme every Friday of Strength & Conditioning with the wonderful Joan Dixon. And along with their weekly training session every Tuesday at Ardee St. Mary’s GFC, they also joined the Parkrun Family by attending our local junior parkrun at the Dundalk Institute of Technology enjoying a 2K fun run every Sunday… Junior Parkruns are a weekly voluntary run event for all kids (not just athletic club members) between the ages of 4 and 14 to enjoy. You simply register for fee and can run at any Junior Parkrun in Ireland and around the world – Click here to register for fee: Dundalk IT Junior Parkrun.
