Looking for something to do this week? We've got all the answers right here

From 5k forest runs to duathlons and mud runs, here’s this week’s activity events calendar, county by county.

THE SUMMER MAY be drawing to a close but that doesn’t mean we all need to go into hibernation for the next six months.

There are an endless amount of events taking place all over the country and in a new weekly feature on The42, we’ll outline what’s taking place, where it’s taking place, when it’s taking place and supply all the information you need to get out and active this Autumn.

If you’re organising an event or know of one taking place in your club or county, you can send all the details to ryan@the42.ie and we’ll include it in our events guide the following week.
