CyberSafeKids - Tom Crean Dingle Peninsula Challenge 2024

On the 30th and 31st of August 2024 at 9 pm, a team of friends representing CyberSafeKids will join The Bookshelf, Uniquely, Rise Coaching, Ugly Mug, The Aquadome, Achieve Fitness and the original founders of the Tom Crean Dingle Peninsula Challenge (Kieran, Patrick, and Daniel).

The team is Dr. Richard Hogan, Mike Murphy, Jim Shiggins, and Alan O'Sullivan.

They will embark on a 24-hour journey, circumventing the stunning Dingle Peninsula through walking, kayaking, running, cycling, climbing, and swimming.

This incredible fundraiser aims to raise funds for CyberSafeKids (Kerry), Kerry Cancer Support Group, Down Syndrome Kerry, and other local charities. Your contribution, in any way possible, is greatly appreciated, and all the funds raised by the CyberSafeKids Team will go directly to supporting CyberSafeKids' mission.

CyberSafeKids is an Irish registered charity which works to make children safer in the online world.

By supporting this event, you will be helping this remarkable charity to make a difference in our communities.

Over the past three years, this event has raised approximately €150,000 for various charitable causes. We sincerely hope that you will support us on this year's adventure.

The 24-hour challenge will kick off at 9pm on Friday, 30th August. Starting from the Aquadome (Tralee), we will walk the Dingle Way to Inch Beach, covering 30km. From there, we will cycle 33km to Páidi Ó Shea’s pub in Ventry, followed by an 8.5km jog over the mountain to Tig Áine’s restaurant near Cloghers beach. The journey continues with a 15km cycle to the Glens North walking trail car park, followed by a 13km hike across the Mt. Brandon (963mt) range, and descent to Faha car park near Cloghán village. The descent also includes a swim in one of the Pater Noster lakes with the faint hope of it being refreshing and bringing us back to life. Back on our bikes, the next leg takes us on a 28km cycle to Derrymore beach, followed by the penultimate leg of a 5km kayak to Fenit. The final 12.5km takes us onto the wonderful greenway, branching off at the Spa to take the coastal route to the canal and our finishing point at the Aquadome.

The challenge will culminate at 9pm on Saturday, 31st August, after covering a total distance of 145km (90 miles).

We will keep you updated on our progress throughout, and we sincerely thank you for visiting our page and supporting this worthy cause.

Join us for an unforgettable adventure and make a difference in the lives of children!
