There’s just over two weeks to go and participants have received the itinerary and general information on the challenge.

56 walkers have registered (up from 42 in 2014) and hopefully the weather will be kind to us. I mean, it can’t continue to be as bad as it has been, right?

The counties of Antrim, Armagh, Cavan, Cork, Down, Dublin, Clare, Kerry, Kilkenny, Limerick, Monaghan, Tipperary, Waterford & Wicklow will be represented. Over 60% of those registered for this years event are new to the challenge.

I look forward to meeting you all over the three.


‘On sleepy hallowed heathered ground; the walkers come to visit
They hold no fear of ascent or length, nothing shall inhibit.

They’ve travelled from all over; to cross three mountain ranges
To them it’s all about the walk, the people and exchanges.

Some committed early; determined not to waver
The thought of three days back-to-back, was something new to savour.

The challenge walkers come out in force; to them it’s another test
The single day event is grand; three days requires one’s best.

A little girl inspired this walk; as brave as brave can be
It’s only fitting that monies raised; are gifted to charity.

Comeragh, Galty, Knockmealdown; are our challenge mountains
We’ll drink a toast on day three, to our healthy lives from fountains.

If you think our sport is about prestige; and of your rivals besting
It’s not you know, it’s simple as; deliberate self-testing.

Come Sunday evening in Ballyporeen; a stranger might enquire
“What’s with all the energy and buzz? How come you are all not dead tired?” ‘
