Getting Limerick Active
The last week of September is European Week of Sport and Ireland’s National Walking Week!
In 2025, European Week of Sport will focus on inclusion, well-being, and belonging.
Inclusion: Sport is not just for athletes. You can take part regardless of your fitness level or background. Sport is inclusive and does not discriminate. No matter our gender, age, abilities, religion, ethnicity, education, or sexual orientation: sport is for everyone!
Well-being: Sport boosts self-esteem and promotes better health. Physical activity helps personal improvement and enhances overall well-being. When you play sport, you look good and feel good!
Belonging: Sport offers life opportunities and brings generations together. Everyone maintains their individuality while also sharing the EU and Olympic values of kindness, respect, and solidarity.
Join us from the 23rd to 30th September! Full list of events below…
