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!
