Parkrun Practice Initiative
A parkrun practice is one that makes a commitment to promoting Parkrun
Dunfanaghy & Creeslough Health centres are proud to be parkrun Practices. We have developed a close link to the Falcarragh Parkrun and we aim to promote this by “prescribing” parkrun to our patients.
What is a parkrun ?
The Falcarragh parkrun is a free, weekly 5km timed community event that takes place at 9.30am every Saturday morning in Ballyconnell Estate
You can volunteer / run or walk the course / spectate – take part in any way that suits you
Open to everyone of all abilities and health problems
Opportunity to make friends and be part of a welcoming community
Why is this important to us?
This will improve the health and wellbeing of patients, carers and practice staff and reduce the need for medication.
Proven benefits for physical and mental health from volunteering, spectating, walking or jogging
Support the national movement to scale up social prescribing activities – our social prescriber is Bernadette McFadden and her number is : 086 076 6670
