The Kilcullen GAA Healthy Club and Community GOAL Mile will be held on Saturday, 28 December, starting at 12pm from the clubhouse on a course around the Community Walkway track, writes Brian Byrne. Runners for the event will finish before the walkers are allowed set off, probably at about 12.10pm.

There will be refreshments, chats and some Christmas goodies back at the clubhouse after the walkers finish, from around 12:30pm. Donations can be made to Goal on the day and via this link. 

The GOAL Mile, supported by AIB, is held throughout December in villages, towns, and cities across Ireland, and virtually worldwide, with tens of thousands of people running or walking a mile to raise funds for GOAL. The first GOAL Mile took place in 1982 when the organisation's late chairperson and international athlete, Noel Carroll, asked local people and their families to run a mile at The Phoenix Park on Christmas morning.

GOAL operates in 14 different countries, helping people whose lives and livelihoods have been shattered by conflict, disease and climate change.
