RTÉ’s Operation Transformation teamed up once again with Sport Ireland and Local Sports Partnerships to organise the 2019 Operation Transformation National Walks. This year Waterford Sports Partnership was delighted to host the Waterford walk along the Waterford Greenway starting at the Workhouse in Kilmacthomas on Saturday 12^th January.

On a beautiful Winter morning the Workhouse car park was a hive of activity with more than 350 participants, over a quarter of which were children, all geared up to explore all that this  section of the Greenway has to offer. Participants were spoiled for choice as they had the option of taking on a 3km and 5km walk as they kick-started their own Operation Transformation. Participants enjoyed fabulous views of the old railway station and of Kilmacthomas town as they crossed the Viaduct.

A special thank you to our volunteers and Civil Defence who gave up their Saturday morning to help us run another successful event. Also thank you to the Coach House who offered us the use of their facilities to host this event.

Keep your transformation on track and join us on our ‘Operation Motivation’ Programme in Kilmacthomas this January.
