Free Walking Group Co-ordinator/ Volunteer Walk Leader Insurance
When you register your walking group with Get Ireland Walking, your Walking Group Co-ordinator(s) and Volunteer Walk Leader(s) will be covered for free under the Get Ireland Walking Insurance Policy.
Why Walk?
Walk to energise your body, mind and soul. No matter how old you are, how fit you are or how busy you are, walking works!
Make a promise to get started and to stay commited. The goal is to walk actively just five times a week for 30 minutes each time. You can start with just 10 minutes of walking and build from there.
Even if you walk out your front door for five minutes and walk back, you’re going to feel good and you’re starting to do yourself some good!
Join a walking group
We have over 800 walking groups registered across the country. By joining a walking group you will be part of a growing national movement for people who are proud to walk for fun and for their health.
We’re here to support people and communities to get walking.
