New for 2013, the Slieve to Slieve Challenge offers an exciting twist on our well established and much loved Slieve Donard Mountain Challenge.
Take on a new challenge in 2013 and raise money to support the work of Marie Curie Nurses.
Team Marie Curie will head out from the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa, enjoying the walk along Newcastle’s beautiful beach, before taking on the highest mountain in Northern Ireland; summiting Slieve Donard at 2,788ft.
Make this charity challenge a personal goal or a corporate team event by registering for the timed option. Alternatively, choose the 'Not timed' option and take on the Slieve to Slieve Challenge at your own pace.
Take on the challenge with your workmates
Corporate supporters can register for this mountain challenge in teams of five. One member of the team will be dressed as your corporate mascot at the start line, before setting off on the challenge.
Challenge underway, the mascot costume is bagged and carried to the summit, before making its second appearance for the team’s photo finish.
Celebrations at the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa
At the end of the challenge, you will return to the four-star
Slieve Donard Resort and Spa, where the medal and prize presentations will take place.
A special rate of £55 per person, sharing (Friday June 7) or £70 per person, sharing (Saturday June 8), is available to Marie Curie participants. This rate is for bed and full Irish breakfast.
As a guest at the resort, the spa is also the perfect place to recuperate post challenge and provides stunning views across the Irish Sea.
