Fancy improving your fitness levels, raising money for a local charity and visiting New York?
Now thanks to a fundraising initiative from the local heart and stroke charity Croí you can take part in the New York City Marathon and enjoy the thrills and spills of the Big Apple.
“Who wouldn’t want to be part of a marathon through the most famous city in the world?” asks a Croí spokesperson.
“We will once again be sending a team to the Big Apple in November . Croí has over 10 years’ experience in sending people to partake in the New York City Marathon.
“The atmosphere is electric over there with more than one million spectators to cheer you on. You will run through the five famous boroughs of the iconic city. You will be looked after with the utmost care from the minute you hop on the plane right up until you land back on Irish soil. Team meetings and a training schedule will also be provided to participants to help get them on their way.”
If you prefer to get fit closer to home the Inishbofin Half Marathon in May may be more suitable.
“Inishbofin is a unique half marathon which takes place on an island off the west coast of Ireland on the weekend of May 13 -15. On this weekend the Croí team descend on the island to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and partake in the time trialled half marathon.
“Day and weekend packages are available on this fun-filled event, with people coming away with a real ‘feelgood’ factor and sense of camaraderie. Every detail is organised for you, leaving you free to enjoy the fun.
“Croí will provide you with all the fundraising support, help and guidance you need to get you there. We have the experience, have you got the drive?”
