.. a bridge to new levels ..

The ‘Move 2 Improve’ Series consists of six races – four 10ks, and two 8ks. They are all independently organised events with accurately measured courses, permits from Athletics Ireland and their own prize structures. The first race will be the popular Kilmovee 10k on April 19th.

As the name suggests, the ‘Move 2 Improve’ Series is focused mainly on those who have taken up the sport in recent years, who are looking to achieve new levels of performance.
