The walk was organised by Laois Sports Partnership who took lots more photographs.

"Take a look at some of the action from yesterday's nationwide walk in Emo. Locals gathered on a crisp Sunday morning in the beautiful surroundings of Emo Court & Parkland to complete a 5k walk. Others remained involved from a distance and completed walks in Vicarstown.

A massive thanks to all our volunteers who made this walk possible.

Keep an eye on our social media this evening when we will announce the winner of the €50 ONE4ALL Voucher!." they say.
