Fit4life is becoming the new buzz word around the Kerry town of Castleisalnd thanks to Sheila Kirly who is running the programme every Wednesday night from 7pm to 8pm on the Riocht AC track and surrounding Town Park. Regularly the numbers exceed 20, even 30 sometimes but the encouraging thing is that there seems to be new faces every week. According to Sheila, the success of the programme is down to the openness of the session, in that the vast majority of the people attending the programme have little or no experience in athletics or running/jogging and the group really enjoy the social aspect of training with people of a similar ability. Although, little or no emphasis is put on competition some of the participants are looking forward to their first local 5km summer road race and some have even set their eyes on mini marathons and ½ marathons. Sheila and her helpers always accept new comers to the programme and you can receive more information from the Riocht AC club house on 066-7142199. Castleisland F4L.JPG
