Helping people across Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown get moving. Join our Zero to 5K & local social runs. Move together. Grow together.
Amazing vibes as we kick off #ZeroTo5k week four. Nice shots by Sandymount Strand also as the distance and time spent running picks up, alongside the excitement of actually doing it. 🩷🩵#DLRSocial #MakeFriends #StBrigidsDay www.instagram.com/p/DUROYRPDDc...

One of the best things about #ZeroTo5k is what happens after. It’s brilliant to see so many #DLRSocial graduates now comfortably running 5k multiple times a week with our Momentum group. Running together is so much fun. And what about Una running through that water? 😆 #loveparkrun

Lowest turnout last Thursday of the latest #DLRSocial #ZeroTo5k.
16 runners. Wind. Rain. #DunLaoghaire.
Result? 100% loved it 🙂❤️

Don’t stay in midweek. Join us. dlrsocial.ie

Brilliant turnout for the end of week two of #DLRSocial #ZeroTo5k Some say the coffee was the best part, although we’re not so sure 🤔😁

Only a few days to go until the next #DLRSocial #ZeroTo5k starts. After six weeks, people told us their sense of connection with others had gone up by 37%, which says a lot about what really matters to Dubliners.

Throwback to last week where members got the new year off to a great start by getting a #parkrun in. If you're thinking of getting started yourself, why not check out dlrsocial.ie where we'd love to see you join our friendly group in 2026. #DLRSocial #RunHappy

Making new friends can be easier than you think especially when there’s a reason to show up each week.
Last autumn, #DLRSocial ran our first #ZeroTo5k in South Dublin. Over six weeks, most participants completed the challenge and reported a 37% increase in their sense of connection to others.

This is what #DLRSocial is really about. Not being on your own.
Getting out of the house when it’d be easier not to and feeling class afterwards.
Join us this January. Everybody’s welcome.

What a start to the new year. Already, many #DLRSocial graduates have completed two 5k #parkruns, a mere three days into 2026. 🙂 We have now added a Momentum Group to our website, for those of you who don't want to let it drop. #HappyNewYear everyone. 💙 dlrsocial.ie/new-momentum... #loveparkrun

Great catching up with some of the #DLRSocial crew at Dodder Valley parkrun for a special #Christmas 5k yesterday. We’ll be heading to Poolbeg parkrun in the morning, if you fancy getting out for a while. ❤️

Feeling the #Christmas mix of joy and stress? You’re not alone. Take a moment for your wellbeing this season. We’ve pulled together some ideas and support to help you through. 💙 dlrsocial.ie/christmas-we...

Great to see #DLRSocial taking to Bushy, Cabinteely and Shanganagh parkruns over the weekend. #ZeroTo5k is just a path to a happier life really 😜 🩵 🩷

conditions during the #marathon with temperatures ranging from 12 - 24 degrees and even more for those finishing in 4:30 or later. Still the atmosphere before during and after was amazing with the race coming highly recommended from all #BlackrockAC who attended. More pics on our Facebook.

Well done to Kieran Little as first #BlackrockAC man home in a very impressive 15:44 and Katherine Duff as the first woman in 20:26 at the Jingle Bells 5k in the Phoenix Park on Saturday.

In her 60s, Una got sick of feeling stiff. Joining #DLRSocial changed everything. She’s now running 5ks, has a new social life and feels younger than ever.

If you think it's too late for you, you need to read Una's story. Seriously.

#ProstateCancer changes everything. But Dermot found strength and healing in the radical acceptance of running slow. His story is a strong reminder that movement, at any pace, is medicine and finding your people is essential. Read his incredible journey: dlrsocial.ie/prostate-can...

Huge well done everyone completing their #ZeroTo5k journey on Saturday in the legendary Shanganagh parkrun where the team gave us an amazing welcome and #NovemberRain to boot. Some are going this Saturday instead and we're really excited! Report: dlrsocial.ie/our-first-5k...

What’s not to smile about when most of your crew just finished their first ever 5k run? Amazing morning in Shanganagh for the first finale of our #ZeroTo5k challenge. Another coming next week and we’ve opened bookings for January. dlrsocial.ie 🙂 #DLRSocial #CouchTo5k
