The adventure event took place on Jan 7th 2011 starting 12.00 midnight on Friday 7th and finishing in the early hours of Saturday 8th. Jan. It is an arduous trek from Dublin Castle in the city centre to the Glenmalure Valley, tracing the escape route of Art O Neill and Red Hugh O Donnell in 1592. This event involves a 55Km trek with a mixture of tarmac road and open mountain running, along with navigating your way from Dublin Castle through to Glenmalure Valley in the heart of Wicklow. Our very own Adrian Tucker was 3rd in a time of 8hr and 40 sec. out of a field of 324 participants finished the challenge, where 132 had to drop out. Kevin Grogan was 6th in 8.22. The event was won by Eoin Keith in 7.13.15. Well done to all.
