Following on from the success of the Active Donegal 2012 with over 250 events it’s now time to once again celebrate all that is positive about sport.
All of Donegal are most welcome to take part in the biggest sporting participation programme of the calendar year.
In 2012 approximately 5,000 people of all ages and abilities walked, jogged, swam, cycled, played games, rowed, sailed, canoed, pushed, pulled, rolled, jumped, skipped, and fished during June 2012 Active Donegal month – Just Try It!
We want to surpass last years Active Donegal month with more events, more challenges to allow more people to take part in sport and physical activity and get the benefits of the Just Try It campaign.
Through the Active Donegal Campaign during the month of June 2013 we want the people of Donegal to ‘Just Try It’ , come out and take part in some type of physical event in your community either in one of our organised community or sports events or as a group of friends going for a walk or cycle .
The campaign is for everyone and will also be an opportunity for local communities and sports clubs to highlight and promote their own sports and clubs to the general public which could be a useful platform for getting additional volunteers.
The launch of the programme on June 2nd next, will also coincide with launch of our new website www.activedonegal.com which we know will also be a valuable support to promoting our campaign. We would encourage all agencies to send a representative and to take their organisation pull up sign as we want the launch to reflect a multiagency approach.
