This year for World Cancer Day we want people to bring a friend to parkrun and raise awareness that physical activity:

– reduces our risk of getting cancer
– improve the health and wellbeing of those living with and beyond cancer

The Irish Cancer Prevention Network (ICPN) and parkrun are teaming up for the third year to encourage everyone to “Bring a friend to parkrun” on Saturday, 8th February for World Cancer Day. Parkrun is for everyone and we are encouraging people to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at your local parkrun event.
The serious impact of cancer on the lives of thousands of Irish men and women means we must identify opportunities to reduce the risk of the disease and support those affected by cancer.
