THE CHALLENGE
This year's 4th 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. Once again there was fantastic
support and on this occasion a total of €105,000 was raised,
bringing our total to an impressive €421,000. With you help, support and generosity we hope to make the half a million mark for this worthy cause.
Next years climb will take place between the 11th - 17th March 2011.
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.
186 climbers completed the 7 days this year (2010), with over 2000 people showing their support by
climbing one or more days. We look forward to seeing you all in the new year...
