Dublin’s four local authorities, who came together under the Active City Dublin banner to run a Parks & Trails Challenge during July, have extended the closing date to the end of August, due to the popularity of the challenge.
The aim of the initiative is to encourage people to discover their local parks and trails and explore parks and trails in the greater Dublin area. This is the first time such an event has been held across the four council areas. Participants can win prizes by completing walks in the parks and trails in all four local authority areas.
As an incentive for taking part in the challenge, all those who participate will be entered into a draw to win some amazing prizes such as vouchers for gym membership, vouchers for Decathlon. The big prize for the winner who completes the most walks is a family-sized tent from Decathlon.
There are a total of 24 walks to choose from, a mix of parks and trails have been chosen in each area. The challenge has been uploaded on to the Dublin Trails App where all of the 24 locations are listed along with maps of each walk.
