The Ulster Way is a walking route of more than 1,000km that loops through the six counties of Northern Ireland. On 25th March 2023 Gavin Megaw sets off to complete it in fifteen days, raising funds for the health charity 'parkrun'.

parkrun helps people live healthier and happier lives. With your support, the charity can set up more parkruns in communities where they are needed the most, and keep events free, for everyone, forever.

Through parkrun’s targeted campaigns and volunteer network, your funds will help events to reach those who might benefit the most from free, regular access to physical activity in their local community. Fundraising goes towards initiatives, like the ‘parkrun practice’ - helping more GPs partner with their local parkruns; providing signposting, for both patients and staff, to a safe and inclusive space where both mental and physical health can be improved.

You will also be helping parkrun continue on its mission, breaking down barriers to participation, enabling ground-breaking research and insight, as well as providing vital support for the expansion of junior parkrun events into areas of deprivation, giving 1000s of children and their families the opportunity to be active, social and together outdoors, every single week.
