Looking for an excuse to get off the sofa?

The Ray D’Arcy show is coming to Cork on Monday, June 10th for the first of five special live shows, starting in Ballincollig – and he’s inviting beginners and seasoned runners to join him for an evening.

The show will be broadcasting live from the Regional Park from 3pm-4.30pm, followed by a ‘Run with Ray’ event (over 16s only) starting at 6pm, using the 5km parkrun (green) route.

You can sign up here if you fancy taking part – the registration fee is €5 and covers the cost of a t-shirt for all participants.

Registration for the event, hosted by Ballincollig Parkrun, will begin at 4:30pm so arrive early to ensure you get the correct size t-shirt and check in before the run starts.

Running coach Mary Jennings, author of Get Running and founder of Forget The Gym, offers tips on how you can go from the Couch to 5K on Ray’s RTÉ Radio 1 show every Tuesday from 3pm – 4:30pm.
