The Monte Challenge!

The first ever Monte Challenge took place on 7th September 2024. We had an amazing day out exploring the hills and coastline around Mountcharles. Thank you to all who took part in the Full, Half and Little Monte – you rocked it! Congratulations to our podium winners and well done to everybody for crossing the line. You can see all the results here:

Check out our Facebook page for photo-albums of the event. A special mention as well to say a huge thank you to; the 40 + local sponsors, the 130 +  fantastic marshal’s on the course, Mountain Rescue and the Civil Defence who all made today possible. We raised 15,000 euro and donated 5,000 euro to each local organisation; St. Naul’s GAA, St. Peter’s National School and The Bluestack Foundation.
