Our first-ever 12 Hour Challenge has officially come to an end—what an incredible day!
The effort that went into planning this event was immense, and the teamwork on the day was truly exceptional. From our hosts at ACC to our guest instructors, our NGB, our dedicated volunteers, and the unwavering support from friends and family—it was nothing short of amazing!
We set out to create the best event possible, but even we weren’t prepared for just how extraordinary the day would turn out to be.
Watching our athletes push through countless highs and lows with sheer determination was inspiring. This wasn’t just a physical test—it was a mental challenge, requiring resilience, motivation, and endurance to power through an incredibly long day. But the emotion and pride on everyone’s faces as they finished that final hour? Absolutely unforgettable!
The atmosphere was electric, with friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, and clubmates showing up to cheer, run a lap, and bring supplies. The sense of community was truly something special!
And the most overwhelming achievement? Over €40,000 raised for our chosen charities—and still climbing! A figure beyond what we ever imagined, set to make a real difference for IMNDA and the Athlone Family Resource Centre.
To everyone who participated, donated, and supported - thank you! You’ve made a real difference, and we can’t wait to do it all over again next year.
Until then, rest up, recover, and wear your achievement with pride. 💪🔥
12 Hour Challenge 2025—that’s a wrap!
