For a number of years now, South Dublin County Council along with Fingal County Council and Dublin City Council have organised this 8-week program targeting 5th & 6th Class pupils in schools in Fingal and Dublin City.

The 5th class pupils in Belmayne performed four running sessions each week inching them closer to completing their first marathon as well as learning about the benefits of physical activity.

The finale took place on Wednesday the 24th and saw the students running their last mile and completing the marathon in Fr. Collins’ Park.
