For the first time in 11 years we’ve had to cancel the Moonlight Challenge.

We hope you are all keeping well and still get to enjoy walks close to home.

We will be back in 2021!
In the meantime follow the team here.

A massive thank you to all our participants last Saturday!
You’re enthusiasm, commitment and perseverance amazes us every year.
You made our 10th anniversary a party from start to end.

Congratulations to team Wicklow Wanderers for winning the Angela Sweeney Award!

Photos will be up in the next few days.

We’re very thankful that our good friends at Coillte have once again been incredibly supportive of our event and our team.

This year they have no less than 36 people taking part.

But most importantly they have kindly sponsored these beautiful, durable bottles for everyone joining us tomorrow!

Due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of people throughout the country and beyond we have now reached the maximum number of participants for Moonlight Challenge 2019.

We wish all our participants good luck with their fundraising efforts and look forward to seeing you all on 9th November!

You’ve been patiently waiting.
Now it’s here:

Congratulations to all 654 people who took part in Moonlight Challenge 2018 and thank you so much for all your support and fundraising. This event provides most of the teams funding for the year and without so many of you coming out and supporting us we wouldn’t be able to do our job.

The route this year was 25k across the mountains via the Glen Team’s Rescue Base. All along the route we were also supported by our friends, family, neighbours, colleagues, volunteers, 7th Wicklow Scouts, Footfalls Walking Holidays, Ludo Massage Studio, The Charlie Froud Foundation, Irish Red Cross and Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team who, dug, shlupped, carried, drove, massages, photographed and stood for hours in the cold to make sure that all participants got around the route safely. So to all of you, THANK YOU – we couldn’t pull this off without you.

And of course congratulations to the Wicklow Wanderers who won the Angela Sweeney award for most spirited team.

Next years Moonlight Challenge will be on Sat November 9th 2019, hope to see you all again!
