Call for women to be good sports during outdoor activity week

The annual HER Outdoors Week aims to get more women involved in all types of sporting activities and adventure

'We know that women want to be active, and HER Outdoors Week provides a great supportive environment for them to take that leap.'

Kayaking, Canadian canoeing, yoga, activator poles, mountain walking, open water swimming, surfing. These are just some of the sports women and girls are going to be able to trial during HER Outdoors Week, which runs from August 10 to 16.

HER Outdoors Week is an initiative created by Sport Ireland to celebrate and encourage women and girls to be active outdoors. Now in its sixth year, HER Outdoors will see local sports partnerships and outdoor national governing bodies offering opportunities for females of all abilities to experience adventure.
