Operation Transformation

Operation Transformation and Sports Active Wexford

admin-ajaxSport Ireland teamed up once again with RTÉ’s Operation Transformation by organising a number of nationwide walks which took place in over fifty locations all around Ireland.

The highest number to date took part in this year’s walk with over 19,000 people participating.

The nationwide walks are delivered by Sport Ireland, Local Sports Partnerships and are a very important event in the promotion of healthy living and the pursuit of exercise.

Sports Active Wexford (Local Sports Partnership) organised the National Walk from The Apex in New Ross. Over 250 walkers of all ages took part in the 5 km walk; it was a great atmosphere and a great start to this years Operation Transformation Campaign. We would like to thank our great volunteers who supported the event, Wexford County Council Leinster Rugby, the staff of the Apex, New Ross Rugby Club, Wexford Civil Defence, Too Many Dance Moves, Lasting Health and our sponsors Centra (The Irishtown), Caulfield’s Supervalu, Lidl New Ross ,Crystal Fitness and  the Apex.

We would like to thank Cllr. John Fleming for his support on the day.
