Killarney

By Michelle Crean
<h3>Killarney&#8217;s parkrun has added another element to their ever popular Saturday morning event &#8211; suitable for people of all abilities.</h3>
While most participating up until now enjoyed a morning run, the local group is now promoting walking for the month of October every Saturday morning at 9.30am in the grounds of Killarney House.
 &#8220;parkrun is not just for runners, it&rsquo;s for walkers and people of all abilities, it doesn&rsquo;t matter how long it takes,&#8221; Philip Gammell, Event Director Killarney House parkrun, said.
&#8220;We always have one or more volunteer Tailwalkers, who must ensure that everyone else is safely finished before completing the course themselves.&#8221;
 He added that parkrun global are promoting this for the month of October but the idea is that if walkers start doing it regularly, they will keep coming back after that too.
 As well as getting exercise, it&rsquo;s also great fun and a social occasion, as you get to know lots of people who you&rsquo;d otherwise never meet.&#8221;
 You must register for the event but and once done you can walk or run at any parkrun event anywhere in the world.
 &#8220;Best of all, after parkrun we go for tea/coffee and a scone in The International Hotel. Come and join us next Saturday and bring a friend!
Registration is free on www.parkrun.ie.
