The DRP Walkathon takes place this Easter Weekend at Oxfield, from 4pm on Good Friday to 4pm on Easter Saturday. 24 groups of walkers will each walk for an hour of the 24-hour walkathon period. The event is the club's big fundraiser of the year - and is also raising money for the Friends of Sligo University Hospital's Stroke Unit. If you'd like to take part - make a donation - please see our social media platforms, or drp.gaa.ie for more info.
