The Dingle Peninsula Challenge
We would be very grateful for any contribution to this worthwhile cause and supporting the participants.
Organisers: Kieran O’Callaghan, Patrick O’Sullivan, Daniel Bohan
Hi everyone! Together we plan to circumvent the Dingle Peninsula in approximately 24hrs hrs by walking, kayaking, running, cycling, climbing, swimming and mountain biking on 4th September, 2021 in order to raise funds for the Comfort for Chemo Kerry charity foundation.
Cancer has impacted many of us. The majority of families and friends, including ours, have been affected by cancer, and it is paramount that those in need get the best and most professional care possible. Not long ago Kerry cancer patients had to travel to Cork for chemotherapy. Now we have this opportunity to build a state of the art facility for Kerry (family, friends, community). Due to the Pandemic, a lot of charities have found it difficult to raise funds, and lots of events have been cancelled. We would like to do the best we can to raise funds for the new Unit, and hope that you can support us in any way you can.
The 24hr challenge on Saturday 4th September is as follows:
Start – 10pm
- Walk/jog the Dingle Way from Tonevane (Tralee) to Inch Beach/Annascaul Rivermouth- 30km
- Kayak paddle from Inch/Aunascaul Rivermouth to Dingle Harbour/Skellig Hotel – 15km
- Run from Dingle to Ventry Beach – 10km
- Cycle from Ventry Beach to An Baile Breac (Pilgrimmage car park) – 40km
- Climb Mt. Brandon (963mt) and descend to Lough Cruite – 5km
- Swim Lough Cruite – 1km and hike to Cloghane Village – 5km
- Mt. Bike from Cloghane to Conor Pass (12km climb to 410mt), then off road to Dingle Town – 20km
Finish – 10pm (24hrs)
Total distance – 126km/78mls
