River Valley parkrun

08/06/2026

Who else can't wait for parkrun next Saturday??

We are delighted once again to welcome the Polish Runners Club Ireland and the wider Polish community to River Valley parkrun this Sat 13th June, for the 7th edition of the Irish-Polish Friendship parkrun.

This is one of our favourite parkrun events at River Valley annually as it brings together not just the Polish & Irish communities, but all communities that regularly take part at RV.
PRCI bring such wonderful colour and Polish culture to the event and the friendships made last forever.
They also treat us to a massive spread of wonderful tasty Polish traditional food & treats to help replenish those lost calories 😋

So, yeah, we are kinda looking forward to this one.
There's a real buzz about the park from 9am, with the Run Directors briefing at 9:20 and the run itself starting at 9:30.

See you then!

We can't wait for parkrun day tomorrow.

"Care for the places we parkrun" is a parkrun incentive asking us to be mindful and appreciative of our beautiful country and parkrun venues.
To help highlight this, we are being joined tomorrow by members of Swords Pickers. Most of you will be familiar with Swords Pickers who voluntarily go around the Swords area picking up items that some folk have, let's say, mislaid !

We are also joined by a returning Run Director tomorrow, and he has promised to have the best of weather.
He also might have a wee surprise for some of our participants/volunteers. More in the RD Briefing at 9:20.

See you all then !!
