Thursday 1st December was graduation day of the Couch to 5k with P6 from St. Oliver Plunkett School organised by Tullymore Youth Empowerment Team. Two coaches from Jog Belfast developed a tough 10 week training programme preparing them for the 5k run in Falls Park.

In all, 23 young people, 3 teachers, (Mr Kennedy, Ms Power and Mrs O’Brien) completed the 5k run. Nicola Conlon and Michael McAllister from Tullymore Youth Empowerment Team, Paula Hewitt and Stuart Kennedy from Jog Belfast also completed supporting the young people along the way.

It was a great morning run and all who took part received a medal and a certificate for their hard work throughout the 10 weeks.

Tullymore Youth Empowerment Team would like to thank St. Oliver Plunkett Staff and P6 class for taking part in the programme; you were a pleasure to work with. Thank you also to the Falls Park staff for allowing us to gain access to the Bowling Green, Peter White for taking the brilliant photos and a special thanks to the Jog Belfast Team Stuart Kennedy and Paula Hewitt.
