With all the Christmas goodies scoffed you may be feeling like a fitness routine is in order and Killarney Valley AC have just the thing!

The group are back with their very successful 'Zero to 5k' for adults who want to get moving, but need a structure and mentoring, in a safe environment.

January 11 at the Killarney Valley AC arena is the date and location so there's simply no excuse to get motivated. From there Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm are the times and evenings to meet others and get back your fitness.

Coming off the back of a very successful October and November group Killarney Valley AC are back early and in great time for you to operate your own transformation in 2022.

Booking is online through the link below and all proceeds are for the maintenance and upkeep of the Killarney Valley AC Arena located right in the heart of the Killarney school area on New Road.

The facilitators are all voluntary and well trained athletics coaches from Killarney Valley Athletics Club. Brid Stack, Jerry Griffin, Con Lynch and Karen Smith are the facilitators, backed by club officials.

"The atmosphere is a very encouraging and you will feel part of a team with a common goal," Jerry Griffin said.

"Your mental and physical health will benefit as the coaches get you moving in a safe way."

The target after the eight weeks is the participation as a group in the Killarney parkrun at Killarney House, so book early as the places will fill up fairly quickly.

Killarney Valley AC volunteers built the track and at the end of 2021 has come off a very successful season on the track, on the roads and over cross country.

So, sign up via www.killarneyvalleyac.ie/events/couch-to-5k-2/ and expect a warm welcome when you arrive on your first night.
