Parkrun Ireland event starting in Clonmel

Parkruns are free, timed, 5k runs held every Saturday all over the world. Clonmel parkrun will be the first in South Tipperary. The parkrun is for every age and every ability; you can walk, run, jog, skip if you like! They are non-competitive but allow people to track their own individual times to promote health, well-being and a sense of community.

• Launch Date: Saturday 20th May.
  
• Location: Clonmel Racecourse, Powerstown Park.
• Time: 9.30am run starts (arrive earlier to meet on the track).
• Distance: 5k 

Post event cafe: Gavin’s Blue Moon Café (In Planet Playground). We welcome everyone to join after the event if you wish to.
- There will be plenty of free car parking available as one enters the main racecourse entrance. Toilet facilities are also available.


- The run will be held every Saturday after the launch date. Before one attends the event the first time they must register on our website which will also be launched soon under the url www.parkrun.ie/clonmel . This page will contain all the information an attendee will need to know. The most important piece of information is that after they register, they will receive an email with a barcode that they can print off and then bring to the event. This will be scanned each week so one can keep track of their individual run time and progress.


- Facebook groups anyone can join: 
We have an official Clonmel parkrun Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/clonmelparkrun/ and we also have a volunteer group page which you can request to join if you would be very interested in volunteering with us. Anyone can join these. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1337124366346489/
