Park Run Ambassador David Gillick says that the various Park Runs around the Country in association with VHI has a hugely positive effect both physically and mentally.
The runs take place in Kilkenny and Carlow and speaking on Saturday Scoreline, David says the runs brings a great community spirit together.
He said “I have been involved with the Park Run and obviously partnership with VHI over the last couple of years and I have managed to travel the country, we have had Roadshows taking place, one of which took place last year over down in Kilkenny there as well so it’s just great to get out and get amongst it and see the great community that is really kind of started around Ireland over the last couple of years in conjunction with the Park Run”.
“The recent research obviously highlights the importance of both getting out exercising for your physical and your mental and these are things that we already kind do, but it nice to have that kind of research to back it”.
