Newry BID has announced the return of its annual Health in the City programme, which gets underway next Monday, 27 April running through to Friday, 29 May. Now in its fourth year, the initiative will see a wide range of free events, activities and experiences take place across Newry city centre.
The five-week programme covers fitness, wellbeing and community-based activities suitable for all ages and abilities. Events planned include free gym and yoga classes, organised walks, healthy breakfast events and a range of wellbeing sessions delivered in partnership with local businesses and providers.
A key date in the programme is Sunday, 24 May, when the Newry City Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and Kids Fun Run will take place. The event is expected to generate significant footfall in the city, with family entertainment and opportunities for the public to come out and support participants on the day.
Eamonn Connolly, Newry BID Manager, said: "Health in the City has grown year on year and is now a key part of our programme to support both the wellbeing of our community and increased footfall into the city centre.
"This initiative is about making it easier for people to access activities that support a healthier lifestyle, while also highlighting what is already available across Newry through our member businesses and local providers."
All events are free to attend, with a full schedule available from Friday, 24 April via Newry.com and Newry BID social media channels.
Mr Connolly added: "We would encourage people to keep an eye on Newry.com and our social channels from 24 April, where the full programme will be available, and to take the opportunity to get involved."
