Parkrun launches new junior event in Limerick taking place each Sunday at 9:30 am at The Manor Fields in Adare
A new parkrun event has been officially launched at The Manor Fields junior parkrun in Adare, Co. Limerick, in collaboration with proud presenting partner Vhi. The inaugural event took place on Sunday, 14 December, marking a significant addition to the growing network of free, weekly timed junior events across Ireland.
The Manor Fields junior parkrun will take place every Sunday morning at 9:30, offering a welcoming, inclusive environment for children aged 4-14 years old to walk, jog or run, and parents or family members to volunteer or spectate. The event is designed to promote physical activity, community engagement, and wellbeing in a safe and supportive setting.
As with all parkruns, participation is completely free of charge, but pre-registration is required. Participants should register in advance at www.parkrun.ie and bring a scannable barcode on the day to receive an official time.
