Barretstown - Climb Every Mountain Challenge - Support Children and their families by climbing a virtual mount TODAY!

CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN 2021

The Barretstown Climb Every Mountain Challenge is back for 2021 and we're asking clubs, community groups, sports teams and individuals to take on the challenge and #ClimbYourCounty for Barretstown this May and June!

Our unique fundraising challenge will see counties take each other on in an epic climb to the top of their own virtual mountains, with fundraisers from all over Ireland working to reach the highest peaks, all within their own counties. Will Kildare climb the highest? Can the Kingdom reach new peaks or will Mayo be crowned the King of the hill?

Choose your own county! Unlimited Mountains. 1 Epic Challenge.

Think you have what it takes? Sign up today.
