Ireland Lights Up encourages GAA clubs across Ireland to turn on their floodlights and open their walking tracks to enable communities to come together to walk and talk in a safe environment
Across Ireland people are up and moving this January as the ever popular ‘Ireland Lights Up’ returns to GAA clubs in January 2024 in partnership with RTE’s Operation Transformation and Get Ireland Walking.
Ireland Lights Up encourages GAA clubs across the 32 counties to light up and bring communities together to walk and talk in a safe environment during the dark winter evenings.
As ever, a club participating in Ireland Lights Up will be showcased each week on RTE’s Operation Transformation.
In 2023, over 1000 GAA clubs signed up for Ireland Lights Up helping tens of thousands of participants improve their physical, mental, and social wellbeing.
Clubs also recruited over 29,600 walkers to participate in the ‘Every Steps Counts Challenge’ delivered through the ‘MyLife’ app, in partnership with the Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs programme. Participants walked over 5,500,000 kms during the five-week challenge.
Registrations for the 2024 ‘Ireland Lights Up’ and ‘Every Step Counts’ MyLife Challenge is now open. Ireland Lights Up began on Wednesday, January 10th, to coincide with the broadcast of the second episode of Operation Transformation on RTE and many clubs in Tipperary took part and will continue to do so.
