River Valley parkrun is once again privileged and delighted to be hosting the RIFE (Recovery Is For Everyone) Fingal Recovery Run this Sat 5th Sept.

RIFE are very involved in the promotion of mental health awareness and recovery programmes for addiction, mental health & trauma.

This event last year set an attendance record at River Valley parkrun and we expect this year could do the same. RIFE will have a free goody bag, medal & Tee-Shirt for every finisher this Sat.

As this is a normal parkrun event, your usual parkrun registration Barcode will suffice. However, RIFE have asked that participants register with them so they have an idea of the numbers of T-shirts, medals etc they'll need. You can register with RIFE at the link below. (Just name & Tshirt size).

Looking forward to seeing you all on Sat.
Supporting our community!
Happy parkrunning!

We are so looking forward to this Saturday's parkrun as the Ryan family do a volunteer take over. The extended Ryan family are taking over the main volunteer roles this week.
(Don't worry, there are still plenty of options to volunteer, and we never turn away a volunteer offer).

Two of the Ryan triplets, James & Jack, along with their friend Finlay are taking on this year's Dublin City Marathon and are hoping to raise much needed funds for Epilepsy Ireland in the process.

Why not come along and show your support to the lads by joining them this Sat for our weekly parkrun before they take on DCM.

RD Pedro is at the helm this week and he'll be delighted to have a full roster. So if you want to volunteer just pop a message her or on the WhatsApp group.

For anyone wishing to donate to the lads fundraiser, please see the link below!

This October the three of us will be taking on the Dublin marathon in order to raise money for the amazing charity Epilepsy Ireland. The three of us have deep roots and a big connection with the foundation as Jack and I (James) are Joar’s triplet brother with Finlay being his best friend. Us three...
