4 Peaks Challenge: Climb Ireland's four highest mountains in one weekend

We are delighted to announce that after a two-year gap, our annual 4 Peaks Challenge is back! If you are a fun-orientated person looking for a new challenge this summer, why not join SERVE in climbing Ireland's four highest mountains in one weekend? 

Running from the 23rd-26th of June, the 4 Peaks Challenge offers the chance for enthusiastic climbers and rugged adventurers to test themselves over tough terrain while meeting other climbers and making new friends! In the evenings climbers and volunteers will enjoy the craic over mealtimes by the campfire. The 4 Peaks are Carrauntoohil, Co. Kerry (1,038m), Mweelrea, Co. Mayo (814m), Slieve Donard, Co. Down (925m) and Lugnaquilla, Co. Wicklow (850m).  

On the 23rd, we ask climbers to meet us in Killarney to stay at the Neptune Hostel and rest before an early morning rise on the 24th, when we will climb Carrauntoohil. The same afternoon, we will travel to the Delphi Resort, Co. Mayo and stay the night. On the 25th, we will climb Mweelrea, before travelling to Co. Down for an evening of glamping in East Coast Adventure. On the 26th, we will first climb Slieve Donard before travelling to Co. Wicklow for the last mountain, Lugnaquilla, followed by a celebratory gathering before heading home. 

Every step our climbers take is in solidarity with the struggles of people in developing countries. Funds raised from 4 Peaks will help SERVE's partners in Asia and Africa provide employment opportunities for vulnerable women and young people. 

When you sign up for this challenge, you are directly assisting women and young people on their uphill climb towards a prosperous life. For more information and a detailed run through of the event, please visit https://serve.ie/4peakschallenge/
