THE CHALLENGE
This year's 3rd annual Croagh Patrick Challenge Event took place between
March 11th and 17th 2009. The first event was held in January 2007 and on that occasion
we raised a total of €52,000. Last year being the 2nd annual
challenge, the date was changed to the month of March. Once again there was great
support and on this occasion a total of €117,000 was raised,
bringing our total to an impressive €179,000. This year's total
is still in the process of being gathered so check back again very soon...
Next years climb will take place between the 11th - 17th March 2010.
Again, the challenge is to climb seven days in a row and will commence daily from 9am.
Is is not expected that to take part you must complete the entire seven days. Some
people may decide to complete one climb or maybe even two. The duration of a climb may
vary depending on the climbers fitness, however in general it is advised that you allow
yourself 1hr 30mins each way.
28 climbers completed the 7 days in 2008, with over 500 people showing their support by
climbing 1 or more days. We look forward to seeing you all this year...
