Operation Transformation

The Operation Transformation National Walks are just around the corner!!  This year, walks will take place at 11am on Saturday, January 13th.  Galway Sports Partnership in conjunction with local walking groups, have arranged nine walks across Galway, including:  Salthill, Tuam, Doughiska, Clifden, Loughrea, Claregalway, Kilbeacanty, Ballinasloe and Athenry.  Last year’s walks were a huge success with over 800 people taking part across seven locations in Galway.  We hope to beat this number in 2018.  Your support in sharing this event with any relevant groups would be greatly appreciated.
