Rathkeale’s 5k Fun Run/Walk Brings Community Together for Mental Health

On Sunday, July 28th, Flexitime and Cardio Flourish, in conjunction with the Limerick City and County Council and the Limerick Mental Health Association, hosted a successful 5k family fun run/walk on the Rathkeale section of the greenway. This was our third event, following the previous ones in Abbeyfeale and Newcastle West.

The day could not have been more perfect, with glorious sunny skies and warm temperatures. We were thrilled by the turnout and the generosity of the Rathkeale community. Participants of all ages attended—from babies in buggies and runners from the West Limerick Athletics Club to elderly residents out for a pleasant stroll. The event truly embodied the spirit of community and highlighted the importance of promoting positive mental health.

Exercise is crucial for our well-being, but the social aspect of getting together is even more vital for our mental health. The day was filled with smiles, laughter, and lively conversations, reinforcing the importance of social interaction in our daily lives.
