SLÍ NA SLÁINTE
Slí na Sláinte, meaning “Path to Health”, is a simple innovative scheme developed by the Irish Heart Foundation in conjunction with Kildare Sports Partnership to encourage people of all ages and abilities to walk for leisure and good health. The initiative is made up of two components...
1. S lí na Sláínte Walking Routes
These mapped, measured routes use attractive signage at kilometre intervals on established walking routes to help walkers identify the distance they walk.
2. Walking Leader Training
Aimed at training individuals in the community to establish and lead local walking groups. Community Walking Leader Training is primarily aimed at people wishing to lead a walking group or promote walking in the community or workplace. The course comprises of a weekend of training and a 4 week leader challenge.
