Family Mile – Sunday 26th September 2021

Family Mile for MHAC members & families at the Club Grounds on Sunday 26th September

Take part in our Family Mile during the European Week of Sport – enter HERE

The European Week of Sport (23rd to 30th September 2021), supported by Sport Ireland and Athletics Ireland, aims to promote sport and physical activity in countries across Europe. As part of events, Mullingar Harriers is hosting a Family Mile on the new track at the Club grounds on Sunday 26th September from 11am. The event will be limited to members and their families only, because while the major construction works on the new track are nearly complete, not all facilities, such as parking are available yet.

There will be a series of family miles for families with young children of different ages, so the entire family can run, jog or walk together. We’ll also have mile races for boys and girls under 16, under 19, senior and master men and women, and we’ll finish up with an open mile walk, so there’ll be something for everyone.

This is a free to enter event for all the family and you will receive a medal at the end of the run. The link to enter is HERE.

The event is for everyone, regardless of age, background or fitness level, with a focus on simply being active on a regular basis and encouraging everyone to exercise more. Every Club that hosts a family mile will have a chance to win up to €500 in vouchers of sports equipment for the Club. To be in with a chance to win for Mullingar Harriers, we’ll need to publicise the event on social media by posting photographs. Everyone taking part in the family mile is encouraged to tag @sportireland and @irishathletics and @athleticsireland in their social media posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter while using the hashtag #BeActive.
