SUMMARY:Wicklow Mountains Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The Challenge\nAre you ready to test your fitness by running through the rocky terrain and hills of the Wicklow Mountains? You’ve come to the right place! Sign up for the Wicklow Mountains Challenge and prove to yourself you can do it while also raising much needed funds for people living with EB. \nThe Routes\nThe event comprises of a half marathon or a 10km with participants enjoying some of Ireland’s most stunning scenery as they run through mountains\, bogs and rivers. Starting high on the Wicklow Gap you will run into Glendalough Valley passing old mining works along the route. A short climb onto the Brockagh Mountain with a fantastic view of the Glendalough Valley and then onto the finish line. \nThe Cause\nBy taking part in the DEBRA Ireland Wicklow Mountains Challenge\, not only are you taking on a tough mountain race\, you are also part of a team of 800 runners who are raising money for families living with EB. EB is rare\, which means it gets very little government funding so your support is vital. Every participant is helping to change the lives of EB families. \n  \n Half Marathon\nFrom the starting line a nice warm up climb brings us on to a descent to where we pick up the Saint Kevin’s Way. This is the start of a long climb along forest footpaths to the highest point of the route: the Wicklow Gap. From here we follow old mining tracks and a short section of road to reach the valley floor at Glendalough. This gives us some respite before the famous sting in the tail as we tackle the tough climb through the forests on Brockagh Mountain. A gentle trail then leads us to the finish line. \nElevation:\n21km: 600m climb \n\nDistance: 21km.\nRegistration time: 9.00am – 10.00am. Coach pick up from Brockagh Centre to starting point at 10.00am. (Race starts at 10.30am).\nRegistration Point: Brockagh Resource Centre – Glendalough (Bus from here to start of route – included in registration).\nFinish Point: Brockagh Resource Centre.\nRegistration cost: €80.\nFundraising: This is a charity event and funds raised ensure that our patient support services can continue for all our EB families. DEBRA Ireland is a lifeline for all those living with EB – so any additional funds you can raise will make a huge difference to their lives.\nIncluded in registration: Bus transfer from registration point at Brockagh Centre to race start\, race medal\, chip timing\, all usual race support along the route\, refreshments and post race tea and coffee.\n\nEntry/Registration Link\n  \n11km\nA tough route this for the 11km option. A short gentle climb leads to a harder climb to the summit of Trooperstown Mountain. The effort will be rewarded with a beautiful vista off the Wicklow Mountains. A steep descent bring you down into Trooperstown Forest and across the Avonmore River from where the next\, but easier\, climb starts. This climb brings us onto Paddock Hill before picking up the Wicklow Way and finishing at Brockagh Forest. \nThe route will be on very mixed ground\, some forest track\, some road and a lot of small rough mountain trails. It will be marked by finger boards\, flags and existing signs. \nElevation:\n11km: 540m climb \n\nDistance: 11km.\nRegistration time: 10.30am – 11.30am.\nRegistration Point: Laragh GAA Club.\nStart Time: 11.30am. (Starting point also Laragh GAA Club)\nFinish Point: Brockagh Resource Centre.\nRegistration cost: €80.\nFundraising: This is a charity event and funds raised ensure that our patient support services can continue for all our EB families.
