An ex-prisoner turned professional triathlete from Dublin is organising a 5k fun run to prevent youths from getting involved in drug crime.
Runners of all abilities and their families will descend on Darndale Park for the second year in a row. The fun run will be on Saturday, April 29 at 11.00am. This event is for all, regardless of age or ability, and there will also be a 1K fun run at 11.15am for children under 13.
The fun run is part of a campaign organised by the community organisation Get The Message Out, which aims to steer local young people away from addiction and crime, as well as to support those determined to exit that lifestyle. Local man Ger Redmond was become an ambassador after he turned his life around with the help of sport and fitness following the birth of his son.
