💙 Saturday was all about love across our community. Tralee wore red, Corkagh Park had some birthday cake, Moate climbed Rosemount Hill, Limerick braved the ice to welcome Nana King, Fairview jumped with visiting friends, TVP parkrun was packed, and Cobh gathered by the sea. #SpeirGorm #RunAsOne

Edel first met Noel in Fairview Park when he handed her a blue Sanctuary Runners t-shirt and said, “You’re one of us now. You’re in.”
That simple moment sparked a friendship – and a connection that would travel far beyond the park. #Solidarity #Friendship

Some parkruns were cancelled, but we still showed up. Buncrana brought the vibes with African music at the finish, Cork’s gang keeps growing, and Limerick & Cobh ran on despite the rain. Even a bit of parkrun tourism to Poppintree 😅
