Kildangan GAA will be taking part in ‘Ireland Lights Up’ 2025. ‘Ireland Lights Up’ encourages GAA clubs across the 32 counties to light up and bring communities together to walk/run in a safe environment during the dark winter evenings.

Our first walk will take place on Thursdays 9th January at 7pm on our walking track - it would be great to see a big crowd there again this year. 

Then event will run every Tuesday and Thursday 7pm to 8pm

In conjunction with ‘Ireland Lights Up’, we have also registered to take part in ‘Irish Life – Every Step Counts Challenge’ 2025. Irish Life are asking clubs to track a total of 4,000km over a five-week period (Jan 8th to Feb 12th). Irish Life will be giving away a combined €30,000 in club funding and every club that reaches the target will be entered into a draw for O’ Neill’s vouchers and other prizes!

Anybody taking part is asked to download the ‘My Life’ App and follow the instructions below so that steps are recorded on your smartphone/wearable tracker (Apple Watch, Fit-Bit etc.)
