The Stroke Association is encouraging people to make a pledge which counts, and take part in a 5k or 10k Resolution Run on 28 February 2016 at Queen’s Sport, Upper Malone.
The event is one of 29 fundraising Resolution Runs taking place across the UK this spring. These runs provide the perfect motivation to get in shape after Christmas, while helping to conquer stroke.
Paul Montgomery, Northern Ireland Fundraising Manager: “Many New Year’s Resolutions focus on improving our health by stopping smoking, eating lots of fruit and vegetables or joining a gym. The Resolution Run at Queen’s Sport is the ideal event for people in Northern Ireland who have made a New Year’s resolution to get more active.
“The events are open to all ages and abilities, and participants can run, jog or walk the routes. We’ll also provide a full training guide to help keep Resolution Runners on track every step of the way.”
At least half of strokes could be prevented if people made simple lifestyle changes, such as keeping blood pressure under control and exercising more. The money raised through the Resolution Run will help the Stroke Association to fund vital research and help support people affected by stroke in Northern Ireland.
Entry fee is just £15. All runners receive a running top and medal. For more information about entering or volunteering at the Resolution Run, visit www.stroke.org.uk/resolution or email resolution@stroke.org.uk.
