Blueway 10K, which is being run with Waterways Ireland, Canoeing Ireland and the Canoe Association of Northern Ireland aims to train people to learn how to paddleboard and canoe using Ireland's inland waterways.
The programme is based on a 12 week training programme, running from the end of May and a culminating in a 10K in August
Mike Jones, owner of My Next Adventure in Ballina-Killaloe is involved in the initiative, and says it should hopefully bring more people to the lake.
