It’s time to forget about age, weight, fitness level - you name it. Simply take the opportunity to meet new people, make new friends, surround yourself with like-minded folks, take it at your own pace, and be fit so you can live your best life.
The whole idea with this initiative by Dublin City Council and Dublin City Sports and Wellbeing Partnership is to make activities as accessible and inclusive as possible to so many people. It’s time we became an active nation that’s in line with (or even better than) our European neighbours. And for now, we’re starting in Dublin.
So during the European Week of Sport (Sept. 23 to 30), Dublin Sportfest will comprise of week-long programmes and events happening across heaps of sports clubs, parks, urban spaces and Dublin City Council facilities in celebration getting active in our city (the vast majority being free of charge). Sport makes for a strong, confident, positive, healthy and driven society - so let’s do it!
First up is the Great Dublin Bike Ride on Sunday, September 23. So whip out the bike, get your helmet on and join in on the absolute craic. See you there!
